Summary
Paris, 1943. The swastika flies from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Soldiers clad in field grey patrol the streets. Buildings have been renamed, books banned, art stolen and people disappeared.
Amongst the missing is an Allied intelligence cell. Gone to ground? Betrayed? Dead? Britain's Special Operations Executive need to find out. They recruit ex-Parisian and Bletchley Park codebreaker Harry Mitchell to return to the city he fled two years ago.
Mitchell knows occupied Paris - a city at war with itself. Informers, gangsters, collaborators and Resistance factions are as ready to slit each other's throats as they are the Germans'. The occupiers themselves are no better: the Gestapo and the Abwehr - military intelligence - are locked in their own lethal battle for dominance.
Mitchell knows the risks: a return to Paris not a mission - it's a death sentence. But he has good reason to put his life on the line: the wife and daughter he was forced to leave behind have fallen into the hands of the Gestapo, and Mitchell will do whatever it takes to save them.
But with disaster afflicting his mission from the outset, it will take all his ingenuity, all his courage, to even get into Paris...unaware that every step he takes towards the capital is a step closer to a trap well set and baited.

Just one major glaring flaw..........
The SOE would not send someone into Occupied France with knowledge of Bletchley Park and the cracking of the Enigma code.
Apart from that (which I can get over) a great listen.

Great Read
Kept me hooked all the way through some improbable luck maybe came the protagonists way but gladly no real Hollywood heroics. Thoroughly enjoyed.

It’s all rather silly.
The characters a mix of stereotypes and cliches, the plot silly and Implausible. It’s all a bit Allo Allo meets The da Vinci Code...
Given the historical context and rich source material it’s really rather disappointing.

A bit predictable
I found it a bit predictable no real twist to the story, more Mills and Boon than Alistair McLean I'm afraid.

Narrator made bad choices
The book was ok. However , it was made almost unlistenable by Addis’ choice to use a gravelling growling ridiculous over masculine voice for the main character. I kept hoping he would be shot to stop the chocolaty tone. its probably the producer's fault for allowing it. I also detested the sugary sweet versions of young women, horrible interpretations that completely ruinied any nuance or subtlety for the listener to have emotions for the characters, for me.
The only reason I did not return the book was I enjoyed the way the writer, Gilman, gave real threat and violence the third reich which in turn gave drama to the resistance and other characters - sadly though, as I said, the main characterisations were flabby and cardboar
