This sounds like an exciting historical read. I tend not to like this era so probably won't put it at the top of my list, but it may be a backup. Thanks for the review.

Abby's character is great. She is brave and resilient to survive the life-threatening dangers that lurks in every corner. This book is a good read especially as I like historical fiction.

Thanks for the review !
I like the story from how it was expressed in the review, it seems exciting and really gets you integrated. Unfortunately it is not my cup of tea.
Think outside of the books.

This is an intriguing review of a fascinating book that I would like to read it too. The themes handled are interesting. The level of character shows a lot about the book. I will have to read it.

There are few things I'm more interested in than historical fiction, and when suspense and intrigue are thrown into the mix, you've got me hooked! This review made me all the more interested to read it, not only because attention to historical detail, but also Abby is a compelling an interesting character. History, suspense, and a strong female lead? Sign. Me. Up!

Witnessing a mafia crime must be incredibly scary! I hope Abby survives her encounter with Hitler and the mafia! I'm glad you found the novel to be well-written and fast-paced, and that the characters were developed well and relatable. I like that the author included interesting aspects of history (the Al Capone Trials, the Stock Market Crash, Adolf Hitler, etc.). Abby being a strong character must surely have added to the exciting plot. Glad you enjoyed this one and that it wasn't too graphic. Thank you for sharing!

Having read the review of Kill Abby White! Now! I am left feeling vaguely anxious. While the review is well written, and there is an intensity that comes across, perhaps because of the historical associations, I would not choose to read this book as I would not find it a relaxing read.

So many historical fictions that I have seen focus on male protagonists, so it makes me happy to hear that this protagonist is a strong, witty young woman. To see her interact with Hitler sounds like it would be fun. Knowing that real events are included make this even more enticing to me as a reader.
