Armistice Day, London, 1918. Fiercely independent Georgie is tired of being told what’s best for her by men. When she defies her father’s wishes by going out into the peace festivities, she tries to help a woman being attacked and encounters Patrick, a gallant, wounded ex-soldier looking for a new calling now that the fighting is done. But the war isn’t over for everybody. Enemy forces have infiltrated the bureau and sent her father into hiding. And they are coming for her too. Georgie knows there’s only one place where she’ll be Honeyfield. But there are traitors in the bureau and she doesn’t know who she can trust.

Omgoodness! What’s happened here?? This book was just so far below the usual caliber! Woefully childish & cringe worthy. I’m amazed to see that there were a few readers happy to give it four to five stars?? The Editor who let this slip through should be sacked!! Anna Jacobs books are usually pretty good! The earlier ones were even more than good!
I really wanted to like this book, I enjoyed the previous two, but somehow this one just didn't grab me. At first I was excited because at last the heroine wasn't being stalked by a guy with a heart problem like the first two. It was a German group who wanted to hold him or his daughter hostage to get a better peace deal. It was a good premise but it fell flat. Georgie was meant to be strong and independent just was plain annoying. Ignoring warnings from people who know better she goes out to celebrate the armistice and meets two people and immediately is like hey I can totally trust these two despite my life being in danger and my father having completely vanished. It was stupid. It didn't really pick up much from there and I struggled a lot to want to pick it up and read it at times. It was a flat ending to an otherwise decent trilogy.
I found this to be a very strange book,almost farcical at the end! Possibly one needed to have read 'A Stranger in Honeyfield' for it to make sense. The reader is thrown in at the deep end trying to understand a very confusing plot. Three of the main character meet within minutes and from there on they are running around the countryside trying to evade enemy agents. It was rather Enid Blyton! I felt that there could have been a good story but it hadn't been researched or thought through properly.

How lucky was Georgie to have met such wonderful people like Rosie whom she helped and Patrick and his friends who helped her and kept her safe.It was lovely to hear about Bella and Tez as well and little Philip all the people at Honeyfield house as well.Mr Cotterell had a very important role to play in this country and I'm glad they got the baddies in the end and everyone was happy.
Read all three books during the covid19 pandemic in a little over 3 weeks From the first to last pages Anna gets you hooked and always wanting more so you can see how the characters who you feel you know and are old friends have lived their lives and progressed after you read the last page
I really wanted to like this book as I have read the other two in the series and enjoyed them. I just didn't get on with this one. There was no real plot just a lot of running away from baddies and far too many people towards the end. I got confused with who was who.
This is a very good read and a great finale to the Honeyfield Series. It is a well written book by Anna Jacobs. You can realy get into the characters, I loved the characters of Georgie and Patrick. I recommend this series as a good read.
Third in the Honey field trilogy. Fitting end however did not want it to end. Wanted to see how Georgie and Patrick do in married life. Anna keep them coming. Real page turners and my housework suffers
I have just reread this series of stories and I have enjoyed them more this time, I think because Anna Jacobs writing is so good I rush to get to the end and miss little bits.
