I'm always interested in WWII "spook" stories. So when I picked this one up, after reading the reviews, I hoped it to be interesting. I wasn't disappointed.This book, albeit light in the espionage category, was an enjoyable read. I don't think I can add any further insight than what previous reviewers said, and I don't re-tell story lines. I don't consider that my prerogative. But, suffice it to say, there were a couple of twists in the story line that kept me reading to the end. I thought the ending was a little flat, hence four stars and not five. But, I'd recommend the book, certainly to anyone whose interest, like mine, is WWII espionage in Europe. My only caveat would be do not think of this book in the same vein of as that, for example, of John LeCarre because it is not.
