Review: THIS BOOK BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF BEING STATIONED IN GERMANY

I am a big fan of Phyllis Zimbler Miller, after reading her poignant novel about the lives of military wives during the Vietnam War era, Mrs. Lieutenant: A Sharon Gold Novel, and her female action thriller, Lieutenant Commander Mollie Sanders. Now, with CIA Fall Guy, Phyllis again brings back memories of being a military wife, in Germany this time. This novel is special to me, as we were stationed in the very same city where the actual bombing of an Officers' Club took place, my husband being the first person on the scene (before the MP's chased him away, fearing another bomb) and seeing the slain American officer who had been due to retire that very month. Mrs. Miller's descriptions of the times and the actual event are so accurate. I especially identified with the African-American character, Kathleen, who works so hard to be taken seriously as a professional woman, only to have circumstances beyond her control make her look like a klutz. Mrs. Miller is a first-class writer. Read this book, with its unusual love story woven through the espionage and intrigue. Read all her books!
