A review by mcfade28
Our Friends in Berlin by Anthony Quinn
4.0
This novel, set in the backdrop of London during WW2 was a solid read. The story centres around Jack Hoste, a spy working with people gathering Intel for the Germans, and a young lady, Amy Strallen who works in a matchmaking agency. They are connected by Amy's old friend, a treacherous Hitler enthusiast.
The plot was a bit meandering and I didn't feel like a lot happened, aside from interactions between the three main characters. Those characters were well written though, and I enjoyed how the book tied into historical events.
I felt the last chapter, a flash forward to the war was a little weak and I'd like to have seen more of a resolution there, but all in all I really enjoyed this, and would read similar books by the author again.
Ps Am I the only one who picked up on a hint of bisexuality in Amy?
