From the best-selling author of The Alice Network

On the icy edge of Soviet Russia, bold and reckless Nina Markova joins the infamous Night Witches - an all-female bomber regiment - wreaking havoc on Hitler’s Eastern Front. But when she is downed behind enemy lines and thrown across the path of a lethal Nazi murderess known as the Huntress, Nina must use all her wits to survive.

British war correspondent Ian Graham has witnessed the horrors of war from Omaha Beach to the Nuremburg Trials. He abandons journalism after the war to become a Nazi hunter, yet one target eludes him: the Huntress. Fierce, disciplined Ian must join forces with reckless, cocksure Nina, the only witness to escape the Huntress alive.

In post-war Boston, 17-year-old Jordan McBride is delighted when her long-widowed father brings home a fiancée. But Jordan grows increasingly disquieted by the soft-spoken German widow who seems to be hiding something. Delving into her new stepmother’s past, Jordan slowly realizes that a Nazi killer may be hiding in plain sight.

Shining a light on a shadowy corner of history, The Huntress is an epic, sweeping Second World War novel from the New York Times best-selling author of The Alice Network.

Loved this book

18 hours of blissful listening. I don’t generally review books unless I love them or really dislike them. Parts were a bit silly but not enough to destroy my enjoyment. The female characters were wonderful. The ending was predictable, love an epilogue when the novel is a standalone.

Loved it

I really loved this book. I’ve read a few Kate Quinn novels now and this is my favorite. Nice pace and it kept me very interested as to ‘what happens next?!’.
Excellent performance. Again, nice pace and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Absolutley loved it.

Story line was great. Chaaracters were interesting and narration was excellent. I highly recommend this book.

Fantastic

I enjoy all of Kate Quinn’s books. And need more. The storyline’s are believable and the way Kate writes keeps you wanting more.

Another excellent Kate Quinn novel

It took me some time to get into this novel but it had a strong story and finish. I still think The Alice Network is Quinn's best novel but this is a good read none the less.

Couldn't stop reading

Kate Quinn's novels never disappointment and,hile I wouldn't say this is one of her best, it's up there. Cleverly constructed with near perfect narration - I found it thoroughly absorbing.

Had to return it

A bit too 'on the nose' and not tied together well enough. Show me don't tell me

So tedious

Struggled to even skim it. an absolute snooze fest with meh characters . very disappointed

Not what I expect from Ms Quinn

Screams of pressure from the publisher - Kate Quinn is capable of so much more.
