Well, I jinxed myself by thinking I'd sneak in a third book for April when I should have saved it for May. Travel, home & garden projects, and youngest moving out all competed for my time.
The Paris Agent by Kelly Rimmer alternates between Noah, a former SOE operative (British secret service agent during WWII), and his daughter Charlotte in 1970 and two other female SOE agents in 1943-1945. Noah is on a mission to piece together the parts of the war his memory lost following an accident. His history intersects with Chloe and Fleur, a double agent and of course Nazi atrocities. Charlotte helps her father, and in the process connects with a man seeking his own history. The SOE women are examples of the bravery and heroism of so many whose stories were in the background until recently ... so many great books about the role women played in fighting against authoritarianism.
