During the WWII, the British Special Operations Executive (SOE) created the F Section networks in France. According to Wikipedia, these networks “were tasked with the assignment of gathering information about the enemy and relaying said information to the SOE headquarters in London.” These networks work deep into enemy-occupied territories and their missions were extremely dangerous.

The Lost Girls of Paris is based on true events and tells the story of some fictitious members of the F Section and their fate. Eleanor Trigg has proved herself with the SOE and has earned the confidence of the Director. Her proposal to create a female secret agent branch to help the F Section in their efforts to bring liberation to occupied France is approved. She personally selects and trains the women and deploys twelve of them in France. The Network is compromised and none of them makes it back to London, so it seems. Eleanor is soon dismissed, but she does not stop searching for the truth about what happened to the women and who betrayed them.

This nail-biting novel will not spare your emotions. You will travel with the spies and feel their fears and root for them in times of danger. Well-written and exciting, this novel brings vivid images of the war and how in this time of despair, courageous men and women did all they could to defeat the enemy. A must-read.
