About this listen

Before there is war, there are those willing to fight...no matter the cost.

France, 1938. While Hitler rebuilds Germany and French and English leaders focus on appeasement, one man risks everything to smuggle information out of Munich - and into the hands of a young woman.

Evelyn Ainsworth is enjoying a carefree summer with her relatives in the high society of Paris. When her father stops to visit on his way from London to Prague, she never dreams that one favor for him will change her life forever. For beneath the glittering gaiety on the continent, a menacing shadow is growing. While many choose to look the other way, there are some who are desperate to combat the growing evil. And others even more desperate to empower it.

Offered a chance to make a difference, Evelyn is drawn unexpectedly into a world she didn’t know existed. A world where war is much closer than anyone thinks, information is gold…and no one is safe.

Short Introduction

Not bad, but the narrative gave it a type of teenagers tale. There was nothing complicated about the story. Very easy to follow. I hope the first full book will be a bit more exciting.

Okay but incredibly short!

If you like a bit of bang for your buck then think carefully before purchasing this title. I inadvertently purchased it without realising it was just over three hours long. The story was a bit twee and all a bit jolly hockey sticks for me. It’s the first in a series and I have to say I’m not encouraged to download the next book. Overall I feel a bit conned.
