About this listen
She fell for the wrong woman...now it's going to cost her.
In the shadowy world of 1940s New York City, a sultry spy falls for the one woman she shouldn't. When reporter Jenny Ryan’s father is murdered, her burning need for justice drives her to take on a ruthless tycoon. But her plan goes awry when she falls for the criminal’s alluring mistress, OSS agent Kathryn Hammond.
Kathryn is more than just a popular nightclub singer with a glamorous façade. She’s an undercover spy, trapped stateside in a dead-end assignment while the war rages on in Europe. Frustrated and resentful, her emotions get her into trouble when Jenny steals her heart. As their forbidden desire blooms, they find themselves caught in a web of danger and intrigue.
Will their passion endanger their lives and unravel everything they’ve worked for, or will their love be the very thing that saves them?
In the Shadow of the Past is the first book in the sapphic historical fiction Shadow series. If you enjoy slow burns, secrets, and spies, you won't want to miss this noir-inspired tale of love and redemption.
Listen to In the Shadow of the Past and get lost in the intrigue!

Fantastic
A great story narrated beautifully. Story starts off slow but builds quickly. I wasn’t sure about this book at the beginning however I’m glad I listened more. I’m now on the next book. I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves suspense novels.

I can't not review this
I rarely leave reviews (I think I've only written one other). Whether it's because I'm stingy with my praise (maybe?) or lazy (likely), I don't know, but I've put this one off for over a year and, after listening to this series in its entirety three (four?) times, I've decided I have to give credit where credit is due.
I've only recently discovered the joys of a) sapphic novels, and b) this amazing format that allows me to burn through them without having stillness forced upon me. As a result, I've made it through nearly 200 books since I first read these and, still, they remain my favourites.
I really, really, love these books.
Romance, intrigue, suspense, angst, pathos, poignancy all perfectly balanced to create this indelible story that I (apparently) can't stay away from.
Throw in the dulcet tones of Abby Craden and her otherworldly ability to give each and every character its own distinct voice, and voila! Just like that, J.E. Leak has thawed my cold, cold, non-reviewing heart.
Well played, Leak.
