Byway to Danger

Byway to Danger (Spies of the Civil War #3)Byway to Danger by Sandra Merville Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a lovely conclusion to the series showcasing a pair of dedicated and compassionate people who risk everything to help end the war and slavery. We first met Meg in book one – so do read this series in order – but she blossoms in book three. Author Hart has presented a unique look at the undercover operations that were going on – on both sides of the Mason/Dixon Line – while the uniformed soldiers fought on the battlefields. She also offers a clear view of what life was like for those not involved in the fighting but living under the constant threat of nearby battles. A series well worth reading!
