I didn’t enjoy this one as much as this authors other books, hence the 3 stars, but still an enjoyable read nonetheless.

This book is set in the late 1930's, Berlin, just as Hitler is coming into power. Georgina aka Georgie is a journalist. Georgie and other journalists from around the world are reporting what they are witnessing, however, their pieces are not actually being printed.

This was a bit of a slow starter for me, but once the story got going it was great. I found myself holding my breath as Georgie navigates the city with her Jewish driver, Rubin. I enjoyed and appreciated the friendship between Georgie and Max a fellow journalist.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Avon for this advanced readers copy. This book released October, 2020.
