Critic reviews

"The crosscurrents and dangers of the build-up to war are established with expertise and not a little menace. Terrific." ( Elizabeth Buchan for Sunday Times)
"Thynne's thriller is strong on the city’s paranoia, and its exploration of the Third Reich’s bizarre attitude to women gives it an original take on Nazi Germany" ( Mail on Sunday)

Berlin 1933

First time author for me. Interesting start to a series. The story grew on me as it progressed. British gal frustrated with her life and family goes to Berlin in 1933 to act in a movie, ‘Black Roses’.

There she finds more excitement and intrigue than she could have imagined.

It was a fun listen and I look forward to the next book in the series.

Can’t wait to listen to the sequels to this book

At first I thought the book was too slow. I wanted it to move along. I didn’t realize at the time it was important for me to pay attention and not ask for speed. Very suspenseful at times bold just when you think you have got it something else entirely happens. Characters well developed it just 1933 now. I didn’t really realize hitlers rise to power started that early I highly recommend this book. Things in upper echelon of Nazi elite not what it seems
