Three Hours in Paris
Three Hours in Paris | Cara Black
6 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
In June of 1940, when Paris fell to the Nazis, Hitler spent a total of three hours in the City of Lightabruptly leaving, never to return. To this day, no one knows why. The New York Times bestselling author of the Aime Leduc investigations reimagines history in her masterful, pulse-pounding spy thriller, Three Hours in Paris. Kate Rees, a young American markswoman, has been recruited by British intelligence to drop into Paris with a dangerous assignment: assassinate the Fhrer. Wrecked by grief after a Luftwaffe bombing killed her husband and infant daughter, she is armed with a rifle, a vendetta, and a fierce resolve. But other than rushed and rudimentary instruction, she has no formal spy training. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands. When Kate misses her mark and the plan unravels, Kate is on the run for her lifeall the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up. Cara Black, doyenne of the Parisian crime novel, is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in this gripping story about one young woman with the temerityand driveto take on Hitler himself.

Kate, an American sharpshooter living in Scotland, is recruited for a mission in Paris in June 1940. Things go wrong (was she set up? Is there a leak in the network?) and it‘s up to her to get herself back to London as quickly as possible. This reads like an action/spy movie-one I would definitely watch. So good.

4⭐️ I really liked this book and the short chapters made the book seem much quicker than it probably was. The story also helped making this a wonderful read. #2021 #bookreview #bookstagram #fiction #historicalfiction #ww2 #litsyatz2021 #t

I listened to an ALC of 3 Hours in Paris by Cara Black. I really enjoyed the story of Kate an American who was an undercover operative for Britain during WWII. What i didn‘t enjoy was the narrator‘s voice. Her voice was robotic except, believe it or not, when she was reading for a man‘s voice. I think i would‘ve loved the story if i had read it instead. Kate went through so many crazy things while trying to kill Hitler his 3 hours in Paris.

Felt a bit like James Bond, if he had been an American woman working for the Brits in Paris in 1940. I needed something that had no connection to a pandemic or racism or the 2020 election. This did the trick.
