The Paris Maid by Ella Carey

4.0

---

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to preview the book. This historical fiction book drew me in from start to finish. It's a dual timeline story that begins during the present day, when Nicole, receives a shocking photo of her grandma with a swastika on her forehead. Is it possible that she was a traitor? It takes place mainly during WWII when her grandma Louise is working at the Paris Ritz as a maid. It was there that a lot of the high-ranking Nazis stayed. As a maid she was invisible and she relayed the information she learns to the French Resistance. When a mysterious young woman arrives that looks a lot like her and she shakes things up. It also follows Kit, a British pilot who is shot down in enemy territory, along with his brother, and is hidden by the resistance as they figure out where to send him. I enjoyed this story and loved learning about the different perspectives of the time during WWII.
