This is such a cracking good read! One of those totally absorbing books that you just can't bear to put down. Suspenseful thriller/mystery. Not my usual genre, but read it because I have so enjoyed the author's other books, which are more romantic suspense, and I am so glad I did! Reviewers of this book have compared it to the books of Robert Goddard, which now I can't wait to read, opening up a whole new genre for me. Superbly crafted book that I highly recommend!!!
Awesome book. Romance, mystery, historical what more could you want. I become so involved in the characters lives and backgrounds. I couldn't put the book down. The history of WWII was fascinating. Loved the grandmother's story. Give it a try it will not disappoint.
This book will probably be one of those books that lingers in my mind for a little while. It was beautiful, touching, and sadly haunting. There was suspense, adventure, and a love story at the core of this book. I was intrigued from the beginning as to where this story would go, and it kept me guessing to the very end. While some things were rather obvious, and sometimes a little coincidental, it didn't take away much from the overall story. My only complaint is that it felt a little too drawn out. It was very well written, but I'm not fond of lots of descriptive details and had that been eliminated I think I would have enjoyed it more. The story itself was quite captivating, though. I've always had an interest in WWII, and I learned things I wasn't aware of from this book. I enjoyed the transitions from past to present, and was totally enamored with the character and story of Andrew Deacon.
This book kept my interest from the first page and the grandmother's story was intriguing and kept me reading into the night. However, the ending fell flat and left me wondering what happened!
