Operation fortitude by Hilary Green

Agent Kim Maxwell is working under cover in France during the Second World War. She is investigating the death of Bernard Leblanc, a local SOE leader. It's made to look like an accident, but Kim's experience tells her it is not.

Reporting to her lover and fellow agent Foxy at the Bistro Le Renard Rouge (The Red Fox) she is progressing her investigations of the suspicious death. As she and Foxy start digging, the uncover a German operation with code name Enthaupten. Beheading.

Not knowing who to trust, Kim and Foxy work together to get as much information as possible before it's too late.

Fast moving, engaging and unexpected including Foxy managing to get married and buried in less than a week.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written historical novel. Hilary Green is amazing at bringing history to life (adding a fictional twist, or two)!

PS. This is the second book in the series, and it worked as a stand-alone, although I'd suggest you read Operation Lighting Bolt first to get the full the back story (but that was my fault for not having read the first one).

Book 1: Operation Lightning Bolt

Book 2: Operation fortitude

Both books are available now!

The Russia Leak by Nick Ganaway

The Russia Leak: A White House hopeful is a real page turner! As per the blurb, we encounter the mistress, extortion, espionage, murder and revenge; all mixed up in a tangle of stories and clues, with clever cliff hangers throughout the book making it difficult to put down. The characters are well developed and the insight into the US political system is well researched and very believable - and clearly corrupt. It's easy to see that Ganaway is passionate about the thriller genre and influenced by some of the best writers including Connelly, Baldacci, Grisham, and Clancy. Would it be premature to wish that there will be a sequel? #TheRussiaLeakAWhiteHousehopeful #NetGalley
