About this listen

In occupied Paris, one woman risks everything to help bring down the Nazis.

Paris, 1940. The Nazis have occupied the city - and the Ritz. The opulent old hotel, so loved by Parisians, is now full of swaggering officers, their minions and their mistresses.

For American Olivia Olsen, working as a chambermaid at the hotel means denying her nationality and living a lie, every day bringing the danger of discovery closer. When Hitler’s right-hand man moves in and makes her his pet, she sees an opportunity to help the Resistance - and draw closer to Jack, her contact, whose brusque instructions may be a shield for something more....

Within the hotel, famed designer Coco Chanel quickly learns that the new regime could work to her benefit, while Arletty, one of France’s best-loved actresses, shocks those around her - and herself - with a forbidden love.

But as the war reaches its terrible end, all three women learn the true price of their proximity to the enemy. For in the shadow of war, is anyone truly safe?

This lady’s voice is dreadful. The English language absolutely slaughtered. It spoiled my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent story.

Marius Gabriel, continues to write some fabulous books.
All based around the world wars, with gritty characters and believable storylines.

If you have not tried this author before, and you like a historical war sagas then look no further.

I struggled with the American accent at the beginning, but that soon became easier on the ear as the book progressed,

I will certainly be looking for more by this author, as I have not been disappointed by any of his books.
