Incroyable.
It has been many years since I’ve read fiction because I was tired of being let down by bad fiction. This book is truly phenomenal. It pulls you in right from the start of the book and keeps you engaged until the very end.

This book tells the collective stories of a group of people (4-6) through the POV of three separate women. Charlotte is the daughter of a spy agent who served in WW2, and reeling from the death of her mother, she throws herself into helping her father find the man who saved his life. This throws her into the path of others who are on their own missions searching for truth in a world hidden behind inaccessible “classified” folders.

Eloise and Josie were two women spy agents who both have stories to tell and narrate their classified heroic stories in chapters interspersed throughout Charlotte’s progress.

The stories are so beautifully woven together and progress quickly enough that it’s never boring. If I had one critique of the book (and honestly, I’m not sure how you get around this one just by nature of the story), it was difficult to place Eloise and Josie throughout because they went by code names Fleur and Chloe and occasionally by other names. The chapter headings use their given names and the bulk of the chapter content uses their field agent names. About midway through, I was able to distinguish the two women and their stories by both their names.

Loved this book and highly recommend. A special thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing and NetGalley for my eARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have read all of Kelly Rimer's books and this followed the same thing. Since I have read all of them, I did find the outcome a bit predictable but I do also learn, and continue to be impressed about the risks people took during this incredible time period.
