August, 1938. British actress, Clara Vine, is in Paris to film her latest movie, mingling with society and passing snippets of information to her contacts in the British embassy. When Clara is approached by an undercover British operative who asks her to befriend Eva Braun, Hitler's girlfriend, she knows that she is putting herself in danger. But Clara will do everything in her power to protect her country.©2014 Thynker Ltd (P)2014 W.F. Howes Ltd Historical Fiction Fiction War

Central fictional characters are well rounded and plausible and the real life figures slot in well. Some twists and turns and enough interest to keep you listening.

Blend of fact and fiction works well

This series is sooo good I’m trying to resist listening to them all in one sitting to extend how long I get to enjoy them!

I find the interwoven historical details very interesting and the pacing is superb.

There are the occasional missed edits in the audio, but nothing too distracting.

Loved it!

I love this series both to read and to listen to. I think this is better than the first 2 books and if you wanted to read just one you could read this and get the gist of the whole saga. I feel that the first 2 build up to this one but it can stand alone. The political background is central and brought to life very well. The characterisations are good and their personal lives are woven seamlessly into the political environment. It is well balanced between facing the dreadful attitudes and deeds of the nazis and the ridiculous frivolity of the fashion and film world of the time. The Nazi women play a big part and this is a fascinating area normally ignored. It is an an enjoyable book despite the nazis and makes you want to read the whole series!

A great 3rd book in the series

I thought the narrative was great and really aided the delivery of the story. I loved loved the first 2 books in this trilogy but found this one overly long with not a lot going on I would read another book by this author but could not recommend this one.

Longwinded Confusing at times
