One day in 1946, during the aftermath of World War II, Grace Healey finds a suitcase in Grand Central Terminal while taking a detour to work. Inside she finds twelve photographs of women who were secret operatives in France in 1944. Intrigued by the photos, Grace takes them and leaves the suitcase. As Grace investigates the owner of the photos and what happened to each of the girls, she will help uncover a horrible betrayal while finding out what she should do with her future. Told from the perspective of Grace, Eleanor (the owner of the photos), and Marie (one of the operatives), this story reconstructs what happened in France two years earlier.
I enjoyed this book very much. The narrative drew me right into the story, and I sympathized with all three main characters. The ending was not what I was expecting, but it also seemed very realistic. I didn't care for the profanity and thought that it was unnecessary to the story. That being said, this very compelling and heartbreaking fictional account was well written and definitely makes me want to read more of the author's books. I love books that delve into war spies, operatives, mysteries, and political intrigue. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction and suspense.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through the Bookish First program. A positive review was not required, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
