Historical fiction intertwined with romance and thrill is my cup of tea. Thanks for the excellent review, Cecilia!

This sounds like a great read! I love it when authors weave actual people and historical events into their story. It is so fun when you are reading and thinking, "This actually could have happened!" I'm so excited this was available for FREE. Congrats to the author on BOTD!

Great review. This sounds like a great read for fans of historical suspense thrillers, especially those centered around WWII, with a savvy female lead. Thanks so much for sharing.

It is always easier to appreciate history when it is woven into a captivating story. Twenty years of living dangerously excites the thriller fan in me. Can't wait to get to know Abby, and Adolf!

This is an amazing historical fiction thriller with espionage, war, friendship, and crime. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats on the BOTD.

This sounds like an excellent historical fiction book set in the 20’s up to the 40’s. The female protagonist seems like an awesome strong woman. I love your review thanks!

Sounds like an interesting fast-paced read for a weekend. I like historical fiction, especially if it's about WWII. Lately starting to discover thrillers, too. I'm a bit curious to find out who Abby is in this story and, since I already have this book, thanks to this review I might read it on a cozy Sunday.

Thanks for the review, but I don't care for stories that involve a group of friends. I also greatly dislike historical fiction/suspense, especially when it has all these backdrops, so this one's a resounding "NO" for me.

I don’t enjoy historical fiction or war related stories so this book is not for me. The thriller sounds interesting for the right audience.
