A very impressive novel that succeeds on a number@of different levels :historical novel, spy thriller, suspense story and a romance. I will look forward to reading more by Jane Thynne. Read my Goodreads review at: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20524816-black-roses. #janethynne #blackroses #spystory #historicalfiction #espionage #romance #claravine #Berlin #germany #nazigermany #1933

Greatly enjoying this, too. Very powerful depiction of Berlin in 1933, with a strongly constructed plot and great characters, too. #janethynne #blackroses #currentlyreading #book #reading #books #bookstagram #booksandcoffee #coffeeandbooks #caffeine #caffeineaddict #verocaffe #friernbarnet #wakeupandsmellthecoffin #wakeupandsmellthecoffee #guardianbooks #saturdaymorning #saturdaycoffee #saturdaybook

Stealing a few moments at lunchtime to press on with this marvellous espionage novel, set in Berlin in 1933. Very well written and thoroughly engrossing. #janethynne #blackroses #historicalfiction #berlin #espionage #spyfiction #politics #history #currentlyreading

I finished listening to this audiobook earlier today and what a brilliant listen it was. I felt like I was in Berlin with Clara Vine and the wives of the top Nazis pre WW2. Julie Teal's narration is perfect, bringing the whole story to life. If you love historical fiction and espionage stories, with a touch of 1930s glamour, you'll love this series.

A new library loan with one of favourite narrators, Julie Teal, who also reads the Maisie Dobbs series. Isn't this cover gorgeous?
