At first, I really wasn’t sure why I picked this book up, but after the first 100 pages I couldn’t put it down. What made it all the more fascinating was its disturbingly possible premise.

This well-researched WWII story that is set in Sweden in 1943 had me hooked from the get-go with its refreshing perspective, realistic characters, & multiple points-of-view. It was the perfect mix of mystery, thriller, & historical fiction.
