Veronica Grace just graduated from college to be a reporter. She’s got a prestigious internship waiting for her until a call from the editor of the magazine changes everything. Veronica and her mother Violet “Vi” Grace, to get away from the scandal of her affair with a married man, move to California to be near family. Ari Lewis and Jonah Rose have a spy network keeping tabs on the local German community and especially looking out for sabotage. When Vi and Veronica realize their new friends and employer have connections to a Nazi organization, they’ll have to work together and go undercover to stop threats from within.

Vi and Veronica had to leave the New York area because of a scandal, and go to California where they become embroiled in the spy game when a job has Veronica working for a local group of German Americans and naturalized citizens. Vi is reluctant to go undercover, but Veronica sees it as a way to get back the career she lost.
MOTHER DAUGHTER TRAITOR SPY shows the danger of going undercover on an emotional level. There’s tension, danger, and suspense. Vi and Veronica often have sympathy for the people they’re spying on.

Neither Veronica nor Vi ever thought their lives would take the turn that they did. Their new lives in sunny California will be more eventful than they first thought.

This novel is also a look back into the 1940s and what life might have been like as war wages on in another part of the world. I had never read this Susan Elia MacNeal before, but MOTHER DAUGHTER TRAITOR SPY has put her on my radar, and I have become a fan. I look forward to reading another of her books.
A mother and daughter find the courage to go undercover after stumbling upon a Nazi cell in Los Angeles during the early days of World War II—a tantalizing novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series
June 1940. France has fallen to the Nazis, and Britain may be next—but to many Americans, the war is something happening “over there.” Veronica Grace has just graduated from college; she and her mother, Violet, are looking for a fresh start in sunny Los Angeles. After a blunder cost her a prestigious career opportunity in New York, Veronica is relieved to take a typing job in L.A.—only to realize that she’s working for one of the area’s most vicious propagandists.
Overnight, Veronica is exposed to the dark underbelly of her new home, where German Nazis are recruiting Americans for their devastating campaign. After the FBI dismisses the Graces’ concerns, Veronica and Violet decide to call on an old friend, who introduces them to L.A.’s anti-Nazi spymaster.
At once, the women go undercover to gather enough information about the California Reich to take to the authorities. But as the news of Pearl Harbor ripples through the United States, and President Roosevelt declares war, the Grace women realize that the plots they’re investigating are far more sinister than they feared—and even a single misstep could cost them everything.
