THE PARIS SPY’S GIRL

MY THOUGHTS:

World War II rages on across Europe and has spilled over into Paris France. Christine is a member of the British Secret Service and is now in occupied Paris. Suzanne is the only agent who knows the top-secret details of D-Day.  When she is betrayed by someone deep in the spy network, she is devastated.  Christine pairs up with Charlie, and American spy, their mission is to reveal the traitor before it’s too late.

The Paris Spy’s Girl written by author Amanda Lees is a wonderful novel that is full of many plot twists and turns.  Just when you think you have the story figured out, something changes.  The details in the story were well thought out and conveyed to the reader.  This was wonderful story of courageous people that were willing to risk their own lives for their country.  A good read for all historical fiction fans.

Paris, 1943. I stare at Charlie across the crowded room. Working deep undercover, we’re surrounded by Nazi high command. Slowly, he smiles at me and my breath catches. I have to trust him, or we’re both dead… 

As war rages across France, English exile Christine has become the most deadly asset the British Secret Service has in occupied Paris. But when Suzanne, her best friend and the sole agent who knows the details of the top-secret D-Day landings, is betrayed to the Nazis by someone at the heart of their spy network, she is devastated. Going undercover with Charlie – a handsome but elusive American spy with an agenda of his own – is her only chance to catch the traitor in their midst.

Pretending to be not only Nazi collaborators but lovers too, they must save Suzanne from almost certain death and prevent the D-Day landing plans from ending up in the wrong hands. But as Christine and Charlie’s pretend desire turns to true love, her past – and the real reason she had to leave England forever – puts their whole mission in terrible danger.

With the Nazis closing in and Suzanne’s life on the line, Christine is forced into one last, desperate act: heading back into deepest, darkest enemy territory, knowing her disguise could have been exposed. With even her trust in Charlie shaken, will Christine have to choose between her love for him, her best friend’s life, and freedom for France? And who will pay the ultimate sacrifice…?
