I really did not want this book to end. It was so well written with alternating revealing chapters that tied into into each other seamlessly. I just had to take a moment to say, "This is amazing!" and then hurry to read on to the next chapter and the next. Truly one of the best books I have read in a long time. I especially loved the Russian women pilots that made you feel like you were one of them. The thrilling story is centered around a post WWII search for the cold-blooded killer, "The Huntress." I highly recommend this one!

A stupendous thriller, with fully developed characters, some unexpected plot twists, historical fidelity and jet propulsion that keeps you reading, reading, reading.

Liked the plot and how she developed it. Characters were developed well and it was a look at what it was like to be a young woman in the 50s, including no college for women! I would recommend it.
Outstanding tale of the hunt for a Nazi assassin, carried out by a trio of dedicated amateurs, including a Russian veteran of the Night Witches. Fine, twisty plotting and excellent character work.
I've read the Alice Network and now The Huntress--both are interesting, fun reads and pass good hours in the reading chair, but neither hits a 10 on a 10 for beautiful prose or fine writing. Good story, you find yourself rooting for Nina the insane Russian female pilot and without her parts would have been pretty ho-hum.
