A review by jess1green
Mission to Paris by Alan Furst

The premise of this novel is better than the execution. It's an historic novel based in 1938 Paris when Germany was growing in power and had heavy influence in France. The main character, an American-Austrian actor in Paris to act in a film becomes part of German political propaganda. The build up of the story mostly involves the introduction of characters with some development of the main character. I would have liked for more of a story line and development of some of the other characters. The ending was disappointing -- just wrapped up too quickly; seemed rushed.
