Beattie's arrival is greeted with suspicion by the station's staff. She faces an uphill battle to turn things around. When Beattie discovers that her uncle Howard, who lives nearby, has gone missing, she becomes convinced his disappearance is more sinister. She learns Howard has been visiting a remote Highland lodge used during the war to hide out of favour special operation executive officers. As she delves deeper, there is no one she feels she can trust except for private detective Patrick Corrigan. But Corrigan has troubles of his own as he needs to get out of London after crossing the Kutsnetsov brothers, a pair of notorious Russian gangsters.
As the snow begins to fall hard and fast, Beattie realises the search is putting her life and that of Corrigan's in danger, and that the answers she is looking for lie buried in her wartime past.

It's 1949 and Beattie Cavendish works for GCHQ. Officially she works in admin and training secretaries, but actually she's a covert operative. When her bosses send her to Scotland to investigate a disappearance at a a listening station. The staff there are suspicious of her, and she has a job on her hands to find out what is going on. Her uncle lives near the station but when she goes to visit, she discovers that his cottage is empty and looks like it was left in a hurry. Beattie becomes convinced that the two things are related and starts to dig in to what is going on in the Highlands with the help of private investigator Patrick Corrigan, who is all to happy to leave London for a bit after having caught the attention of some Russian gangsters.
This is actually the second book featuring Beattie, and although I haven't read the first it didn't really cause me too many problems with the plot. There are some throwbacks to that previous novel but enough is explained that you can follow along - although it did make me interested in reading that earlier book. This is the first book by Mary-Jane Riley that I've read but also the first Cold War set historical mystery that I've read in quite a long while. And this is specifically Cold War (rather than generic 1950s) because of Beattie's work and all the circumstances of the mystery. And I enjoyed it a lot.
There are some commonalities in Beattie's back story with other characters that I have liked in inter-war-set mysteries - I can't really tell you what because it's spoilers - and it makes for an interesting character. I'm also interested in the friendship with Corrigan and the context around that - this is where I did feel that I was missing some context - he has a fiancée and without having read the first novel I wasn't sure if I was meant to be rooting for him to break it off with her for Beattie or not - because from the information given his fiancéee had helped in that previous mystery even if her actions in this one seemed to be slightly against what Patrick wants in terms of his future. So definitely up for reading a third book to see what happens there.

This was a fun, atmospheric mystery with an interesting plot (even though it slowed in some places) and a great setting
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
After reading the first book, I was very eager to get my hands on the next. This book is quite possibly more thrilling than the first!
As Beattie Cavendish continues her work for the GCHQ (Britain's intelligence network), she is brushed off to Scotland where she is sent to a facility in the Highlands at Kilbray. Her mission is to look into the whereabouts of the man in charge that has not reported for duty within the last couple of weeks. She is also instructed to monitor chatter between the Allieds who have been cooking up secrets post WWII (an off-the-books side mission). While there, her boss suggests that she look in on her uncle at his cottage nearby, but Beattie discovers that he has also disappeared. As Beattie investigates, her unsavory dealings with members of other government departments in the previous book resurface, and her only option is to requisition the help of her friend Patrick T. Corrigan. As the two team up on this case, the secrets they uncover put them in great peril.
Like the first book, this was a book that I could not put down. What I love about this series is that the books are more spy fiction than historical mystery. I love a good spy novel, especially when it covers a bit of WW2 and the Cold War. With the Scottish Highlands as the backdrop, the brooding weather cast an atmospheric tone that was perfect for this plot. I loved the tension and camaraderie between Beattie and Patrick. They are a perfect team. There is a bit of action in the plot that was so thrilling. This series gets better and better, and I am ecstatic to see how Beattie's work evolves from local missions to Scotland. There is something about our protagonist that reminds me of Maisie Dobbs.
My one regret was that I read too quickly when I should have savored it. If you like thrilling spy fiction or historical mystery novels, you will love this book.

Beattie Cavendish and the Highland Hideaway by Mary-Jane Riley, is the second in this series about the Cold War era and how the allies distrusted one another as much as they did their enemies. Beattie is sent to Scotland, to a listening station, to determine what was holding up intel that had been coming regularly but was now severely down. She was also to see if she could find the missing manager of the station. Then, as a personal mission, to wanted to speak to her uncle Howard. He was the man who had paid for her degree and she lived in his apartment in London. What she found was seriously convoluted. She was confused, but she kept moving forward until it made sense. It was difficult to know who the good guys were.
Beattie is a product of World War II: an independent woman who had been a spy in France and worked with the resistance to disrupt the Nazis. When that was done, she, ostensibly, worked for this agency that watched and listened, with someone else acting. She is a great character, as is her “partner,” Patrick Corrigan, is an Irish private detective, who seriously damaged one side of his face, including losing his eye. But, none of that stopped him from pushing the envelope, which is exactly what Beattie forced him to do. He loved the excitement. The chemistry between the two is dynamic, but Patrick has a fiancee, whom he loved. This was an exciting tale of missing persons, death, attraction, and disloyalty. Terrific plot, using the skills of both Beattie and Patrick to the max.

Beattie is back, and on top form.
"Beattie Cavendish and the Highland Hideaway", the second story in the Cavendish series, opens in February 1949, some months after the events of book one. Beattie is summoned to the office of Ms Fields, her superior at the Covert Operations Section. With little ceremony, she is despatched to Inverness, to a key listening post to investigate missing intelligence reports, and a missing head of station. No messing about here.
With some clever interludes, readers who have not read book one, are quickly brought up to speed, and soon Beattie is up to her neck in early Cold War shenanigans. A key theme is the race for Russia to create an atomic bomb, as it's clear that WW2 may be over, but another war is already underway. When Beattie's uncle goes missing from his Highland cottage, things begin to get complicated.
Readers of the first Beattie book need not worry - this is more of the same - a not too dark thriller, told simply and well, with some lovely, well-rounded characters, and a story that moves along at a brisk pace. Fans of private detective Patrick Corrigan will be glad to know he's back, and his relationship with Beattie remains complicated. Along the way we see a bit more of his and Beattie's backgrounds, and meet some intriguing characters including a mysterious sidekick called Murdo, a gossipy typist and a pretentious base commander.
If you're a fan of Jacqueline Winspear or Mandy Robotham, you'll love this. Highly recommended.

This latest Beattie Cavendish adventure is set in the late 40's at a time when the Cold War has every secret service agency mistrusting each other and memories of WW2 spies, subversion and treachery have not been forgotten. Beattie, a veteran of those times, is sent by GCHQ to investigate strange events in a listening station in the highlands of Scotland. She is unofficially aided by the Irish private detective, Patrick Cunningham introduced in the previous adventure. For those who did not read that, these books are comfortable easy reads with a bit of action and adventure centred around the heroine, Beattie, a plucky independent young woman who was part of the SOE during WW2 and whose skills in espionage are still being used to serve her country. The writing is very descriptive and the suspense well crafted in this latest story. We find our more about Beattie's family history and events from her past and we also see the growing attraction between her and Cunningham despite his loyalties with his fiancé back in London.
If you are into harder edged, testosterone fueled action stories then this might not be your cup of tea, but I enjoyed it! The Author's has a good writing style and can put an intriguing plot together. She is very good at placing the reader into a scene with her descriptions of the Scottish landscape and her characterisations of her protagonists. It is also set in an interesting time when the world was trying to figure out what the post WW2 world would look like.

Three and a half stars.
Beattie Cavendish is a former WW2 member of SOE who has been 'relegated' to translating communications for GCHQ, with the occasional field trip. her boss calls her into the office and tells her to go to a remote listening station in Scotland, the commander has gone missing (possibly drunk and/or with one of his fancy women) and there is a suspicion of espionage - some intelligence is not being passed on and GCHQ is concerned that our American allies could be cosying up to former Nazis who have not shed their old allegiances. Her boss also, rather cryptically, suggests Beattie should visit her uncle who lives close to the station.
When Beattie gets there she finds her uncle has also mysteriously disappeared with all the evidence suggesting it was not planned. Can she keep up her cover story, investigate her uncle's disappearance, and investigate the commander's disappearance single-handedly? Well no, so she enlist the help of private investigator Patrick Corrigan.
I enjoyed this and it had a good pace from the start, but the ending felt a bit hurried. In fact I re-read the last chapters this morning thinking I might have missed something. But, no.
Also, there is a lot of harking back to what Beattie and Patrick did during the war with very little resolution - I think that needs to be sorted in the next book as it leads to a lot of repetition.
Overall, I liked it but I didn't love it.

Beattie Cavendish, an ‘all is not as it seems’ civil servant who is actually working as a British operative, is sent to snowy northern Scotland to uncover an intelligence leak and a spy ring. World War II may be over, but the Cold War is just beginning. When her enigmatic uncle, living in the same area of the Highlands, goes missing, as does another ‘civil servant,’ Beattie enlists the help of her friend and private detective Patrick Corrigan, because it all seems like part of the same complicated web.
Spies, double agents, murders, and a remote Highland hideaway used to house troublesome agents set the backdrop for this thriller. Vivid descriptions of a snowy Scottish landscape help set the scene for the reader. While not often fastpaced, this book also didn’t drag and did keep my attention. Despite it being second in a series and me not having read the first, I didn’t have trouble getting up to speed with Beattie and Corrigan’s relationship, as well as secondary characters like her French maman and Corrigan’s fiancée Nell. I would read others in the series.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Under her guise as a typing trainer, Beattie is sent to the Highlands outside Inverness to investigate the disappearance of a intelligence monitoring station official, she is also told to visit her Uncle Howard. He seems to have disappeared as well and Beattie calls on her friend Corrigan the investigator for help. The station manager is found dead and Beattie's mother tells her that Howard was a German spy. In the fraught politics of post-War Europe, former enemies are now courted as friends but there is something else going on and Beattie needs to find out what.
The first book in this series was surprisingly good and this is at least as good. The background at the dawning of the Cold War and involving the nascent GCHQ is fascinating and teh characters are developing nicely. Here more of Beattie's backstory is developed, her wartime work for the SOE and her family's complex relationships. It's a bit of a convoluted plot involving lots of different sides but the action is great and the location in the depths of winter is describer beautifully. I look forward to the next installment.

It is 1949 and Beattie Cavendish is working in the recently renamed GCHQ, the Government Communications Headquarters, as the threats from the Cold War begin to grow. Under the guise of training typists, she is sent to a remote listening station in the Scottish Highlands where the station commander is missing and soon finds the mystery hits much closer to home. Patrick Corrigan, a private detective she has worked with in the past, comes to help as they try to uncover the truth.
This was as fast paced and enjoyable as the first book in the series, full of interesting characters (especially Beattie herself) and lots of twists and turns. It’s a fairly gentle kind of thriller with an old-fashioned feel (this is a compliment!) and an excellent sense of time and place – I'm thoroughly enjoying the series and look forward to the next chapter.

Beattie Cavendish and the Highland Hideaway is the second book featuring intrepid civil servant (but really she's an intelligence agent) Beattie Cavendish and her private detective sidekick Patrick Corrigan.
This time, Beattie has been sent to the snowy Scottish Highlands to look into the disappearance of the local signals intelligence station commander. Has he run off with his fancy woman, or is the disappearance more sinister? And how is Beattie's Uncle Howard (also missing) involved?
A thoroughly enjoyable romp through early Cold War intrigues with a strong sense of place. A recommended read!

Excellent mystery set in post WWII England and Scotland. Beattie is sent to a remote location in Scotland under the guise of her cover as teaching typing skills. The location in Scotland is a listening station, receiving messages from spies from Germany and the US. A plot is afoot by the Americans to hire ex-Nazis to work on nuclear technology, but the Germans were planning to double cross and send the info back to Germany. Beattie’s uncle is somehow involved, and part of her charge is to locate her Uncle Howard. The relationship between Beattie and Corrigan is a highlight of the book, filled with excitement and intrigue. Highly recommended. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Delightful duo!!! I have had much fun reading this second book in the series! A woman spy (oh dear! how can that be in those days?) working together with a scarred, one eye-veteran (full of charm!) make an unexpected team . Brilliant characters, a lot of actions and romance (well, sort of). I had to laugh many times, this was delightful and very entertaining ! I can't wait for the third book!

I haven't read the first book, so I have no idea how I've found myself liking Nell so much, a character who isn't really in this book.
As much as I liked Nell, nobody compares to Beattie and Cavendish. A fine pair to say the least.
This was just jolly good fun, with plenty of danger to boot.
Plucky Beattie, thrown in to the wilds of Scotland to solve some problems.
It was a delight to read,
Really very enjoyable,

I enjoyed this second book in the Beattie Cavendish series. A good mystery set in the Scottish Highlands with Beattie asking Kevin Corrigan to join her in a complicated mystery. Lots going on and it put me in mind of The Thirty Nine Steps. Alredy looking forward to the next instalment.
With thanks to the publisher for the invite to read and review and to NetGalley for facilitating that.

This was my first Beattie Cavendish novel, and I really enjoyed it! I loved the setting and time period, and the fact that Beattie is a cool secret agent lady! I am excited to go back and read the first book in her series!
