A review by jacki_f
Our Friends in Berlin by Anthony Quinn
3.0
During WW2, Jack Hoste is based in London where he runs a circle of German sympathisers who provide him with intelligence that he can pass onto Berlin. He crosses paths with Amy Strallen, a wonderful character who runs a matchmaking agency. It seems that romance might blossom between them, but then she discovers his secret stash of German war medals.
There are a lot of twists in this story. No one - not even Amy, the most straightforward - is quite who you think they are and it certainly doesn't develop in the way you expect it to. It's intriguing, but there's something about it that holds you at arm's length. I liked it but I wasn't engrossed by it.
