Message For Hitler (A Tommy Mooney Mystery Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Cate M. Ruane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Tommy Mooney--back in England after his adventures in Telegram For Mrs. Mooney--goes with his brother's fiancée to RAF Rochford, where he begins to suspect that a Nazi spy is working mischief at the base. Airmen are mysteriously wounded, Spitfires are sabotaged, someone has been poisoning the food.

No one escapes Tommy's radar, especially after Daphne falls ill and is hospitalized. That night the base is attacked, setting off a chain of events that will either prove Tommy to be a fool or a hero.

Hearkening back to the Hitchcock film, Saboteur, and the WWII era mysteries of Eric Ambler and Helen MacInnis, Message For Hitler is narrated by a truly likable, sometimes irascible, archetypal "everyman" hero. It's a edge-of-your-seat, hair-raising, nail-biter of an adventure. A novel with the power to invoke the fearless child within you.

Such a fun mystery told from a 12 year old boys perspective. An American in England during WWII. So funny to read his thoughts about England.

Author certainly has a good imagination. Some was far fetched, but still a fun book to read. Will wait for the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and educational
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2018
Having read Cate Ruane's first book, A Telegram for Mrs. Mooney, in the tommy Mooney Mystery series, I wasn't disappointed by her latest, Message for Hitler. The author does an excellent job of getting into the mindset of 12 year old Tommy with his hilarious New York City sense of humor. The book is an entertaining read through which we learn on the way about the life in England under the Blitz in WW2. I look forward to reading her 3rd book.

Message for Hitler was as improbable as the first in the series and just as engaging. I'm looking forward to book three.

5.0 out of 5 stars WELL CRAFTED WAR STORY
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2020

This, the second of the Tommy Mooney books, sees the 12 year old ensconced in Warfield Hall with the Sopwiths - there being no suitable or safe passage back to his home in New York. Lord Sopwith has forgiven him for stealing his yacht & has become his legal guardian. Lady Sopwith is in regular contact with Tommy’s mother & is overseeing his education - much to his annoyance. However, she permits Tommy to go to stay for the weekend in London with Daphne - his brother, & Spitfire ace, Jack’s fiancé. However, Jack’s squadron (American Eagle Sqn) is short handed because of an accident to some of the pilots & Jack can’t be in Town with them; so Daphne & Tommy go to the Air base where, at first, only Tommy suspects a German infiltrator as half the base’s personnel has been struck down with food poisoning & Daphne is actually poisoned. Nevertheless, Tommy, Daphne, the Sopwith’s all become embroiled in a chase to unmask the traitors & the German pilot who captures Tommy to use him as a shield on his way to Dover. An excellent book, if anything, better than the first. The only jarring note is the reference to transistor radios that weren’t invented until the 50s.
