Book Blurb:

Would you sell your secrets?

Catherine Carlisle is trapped in a loveless marriage and the threat of World War Two is looming. She sees no way out… that is until a trusted friend asks her to switch her husband’s papers in a desperate bid to confuse the Germans.

Soon Catherine finds herself caught up in a deadly mixture of espionage and murder. Someone is selling secrets to the other side, and the evidence seems to point right at her.

Can she clear her name before it’s too late?

My Review:

I really enjoyed this fascinating historical thriller. I Iove historical fiction especially when it is set around WW2 and features spies or the resistance.  It always helps add to the tension and atmosphere as you realise that some people might have actually done the things described in the book.  I always wonder if I would have had the courage to stand up to Hitler and try and make a difference.

This story drew me in from the very intriguing prologue regarding a tense situation.  I immediately wanted to read more to discover what happens to the characters involved and if they survived.

My favourite character was Catherine.  I really admired her strength, courage and determination.  It would have been very easy for her to toe the line and do as society and her family expected but the fact she doesn’t really shows her character.  It was quite startling reading about what rights a woman had at this time, which wasn’t actually that long ago, and how much control men had.  Cat really pushes against this and refuses to conform.  Her arguments with her sister in law were brilliant and helped add to some comic moments in the book.

The gradual unraveling of the mystery of what happened and who the spy was is brilliantly done and had me guessing until the end.  The pace of the book is perfect being neither too fast or slow and ensured that the book was quite hard to put down.

This is the first book by Terry Lynn Thomas that I have read and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
