First library #Bookhaul of the year. Two holds, two finds, two buys. The tagged book sounded interesting (one of the finds). 📚

For anyone who likes WWII novels, or spy stories, this is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the setting, the intrigue. I learned a good bit about aspects of the war with which I was unfamiliar. A new-to-me author, I thought this was well written and definitely worth the time. Recommend.

Picture has nothing to do with the book; we visited a nature preserve the other day.

Hubby gave me this for Christmas, and I started it this morning. I‘m already intrigued. WWII fiction; he knows me well😂

Lista_0522 I‘m not usually into historical books based around the time of war (I hate when the best characters die🥲) but just looking at the cover, this looks like it would be good. Or at the very least, my interest is peaked! 3mo

Graham does an impressive job of making the roles of Research and Analysis agents into a tale of adventure and danger. Her writing is lively and interesting. The only time it slowed to a stroll was during the explanation of the science being utilized to attempt the creation of the atomic bomb. Occasional bits of fiction seemed a bit out of place in this type of narrative. Amazing! Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for an advance digital copy.

This was disappointing. I was excited and expected more. I will say, though, I‘m glad I finished it.

Aims42 Ugh, it‘s such a bummer when your expectations don‘t match the book 😩 I‘m experiencing that with my current read too, debating on whether to even finish it 8mo

Wow. Michelle Gable again takes you on an historic ride. Niki is part of OSS in the MO department during WWII. We follow her through her adventures and misadventures, love and heartbreak. The story is told through Niki‘s eye (both past and present) and the eyes of her friend, an Italian prostitute. A very satisfying ending.

I decided to give historical fiction a try & this one is fast paced, & well researched. I am impressed by the way the author wrote the MCs.
Maria fights to serve her country in WW2, and earns her way to Portugal where her microfilm skills are needed to collect Nazi publications. She works with a Portuguese freedom fighter who runs an underground Jewish network, and serves as a double agent to the Nazis.
3/5 read for a good story based in history
