Description
In the midst of war, can they find a reason to celebrate?
1915. Patrolling is the last thing on the minds of Women's Police Service recruits Annie, Maggie and Poppy right now, because Annie and her fiancé Richard are about to get married. She's been waiting for this day her whole life, but when it finally comes it brings only heartache and Annie doesn't know if she can go on.
The influx of soldiers to the capital means that the WPS's work is more important than ever, though, and Annie's country needs her. She and the girls are posted to the bustling heart of the city and she hopes the new job will distract her from her sorrow.
It certainly does that. Soon the biggest bombing raid of the war causes chaos on their patch. On top of that, Annie suspects that a group of men are forcing European refugees into prostitution and resolves to stop them by Christmas. But by the time she realises just how high up the scandal goes, she might be in too deep to get out . . .
The Bobby Girls Series is perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Daisy Styles and Call the Midwife

I was so looking forward to reading this latest book by Johanna Bell following the 3 girls who were part of the wps in WW2.
I was not disappointed in the slightest. Yet again the story of Annie, Poppy and Maggie and the characters based around the new area they were based in were captivating. The story was absorbing and I didn't want to put it down.
an excellent read as always
Thanks to #NetGalley for the advance copy in return for an honest review

These women are courageous police officer's taking over from the men away fighting for our country in WW1.
A warm feel good book three in the series.
Set in London 1915, and Annie Beckett tells us her story.
Along with Maggie and Poppy known as WPS recruits The Bobby Girl's.
The job is far from easy dealing with drunken soldiers and prostitutes that they have to keep in line.
Annie's fiance Richard is never far from her thoughs and preparations for the wedding are all in hand. Irene is coming to the big event after been transferred to Grantham.
An unexpected visitor bring's Annie's whole world crashing down. This wretched war has ruined her chances of ever having happiness again.
Frosty has made arrangments for the girls to be moved to Holborn from Bethnal Green to start new jobs. the community are going to miss the three pollies.
This book is a heartbreaker, I was totally enchanted by the story and all the wonderful research, this author has giving once again, a book full of delight, joy and sorrow. Annie is throughout such a courageous woman right till the end. with a christmas surprise to look forward to was sorry to see the end. and look forward to the next book four.
i do know its a perfect christmas read, for readers to enjoy.
