Exactly ten years later her niece, Kate Westbrook, receives a large trunk containing forty handwritten diaries, containing the memoires of Miss Moneypenny, personal secretary to M., the head of MI6. As Kate discovers the truth to her aunts secret life, her own life seems to get caught up in ongoing covert affairs… The trilogy The Moneypenny Diaries (2005; 2006 and 2008) was written by Samantha Weinberg.
