The Fifth Column by Andrew Gross

2.0

I received this book as a Goodreads Giveaway. I am usually a fan of this author and enjoy reading his books, but this one just didn't do it for me. It felt like Mr. Gross was trying to write historical fiction mixed with romance wrapped in suspense/mystery...and he mostly failed at all three. While the premise is interesting, the characters all felt like caricatures and the execution suffered as a result. If you want to read something by this author, pick a different book.
