The Alice Network
by Kate Quinn
The Alice Network has something for everyone! Like a good mystery? It's got it. Espionage in wartime? Yep! Romance? Umm, yes! Historical fiction? In spades. Human interest? Loads. A villain who deserves his comeuppance? For sure!
I won this book in a giveaway on Goodreads that I entered after reading the description. This is my honest opinion. It did not disappoint.
Told on parallel timelines, Charlie St Claire wants to find her French cousin, Rose, missing since the end of WWII. Her one clue leads her to Eve, a former spy in the Alice Network, a group of women who collected intel about German plans and relayed it back to England during WWI. But Eve paid a toll for her service, and 1947 finds her a bit shy of stable. Still, at the promise of payment and the mention of something that brings Eve's past rushing back, she agrees to help Charlie. The two women and Eve's personal caretaker, Finn, take off in search of Rose, and much more. As their journey unfolds, so does the story of Eve's service as a spy, and the man who made sure it cost her almost everything.
Full of twists and heartbreaking turns, vivid descriptive detail, and the perfect narrative pace, the story in each timeframe unravels a thread that ties it to the next piece, right up to the book's satisfying end.
