One Child in Berlin

A Stella Bled Thriller, Book 3

De: A.W. Hartoin

Narrado por: Justine Eyre

November 1939

It's been a year since Stella Bled Lawrence and her husband, Nicky, escaped Italy by the skin of their teeth and a lot has changed. Nicky joined the Royal Air Force and Stella spent the year training as a spy for His Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service. She has the languages and the tradecraft down pat, but she still has a way to go when the earl of Bickford pulls her from her training early.

The earl uses his influence to make her a courier, a job well below her skills, but it's not as simple as it seems. The new head of the service isn't convinced of her worth and Stella has to use the opportunity to show him that she and other women can deliver for Britain or she's out on her ear.

That would be enough to make any newly minted spy nervous, but the earl isn't done. He has a favor to ask and the request sends Stella to a place that will haunt her forever.

Interesting but scratching my head a little

The first two installments of the series were fast paced with intense moments fighting NAZI’s. In this installment, when Stella was set up for tense moments fighting NAZI’s, she spent most of there time serving drinks and commiserating. It left me a little confused. Great narration and the book was well done…but I was left wanting something that at times I felt I didn’t get.

Stella's adventures continue

Hartoin gave us another suspenseful story to add to Stella's repertoire. This time she is proving her worth to Mrs. Churchill and making a stand for the ability of women to "do the job." The things she had to do to find one small child in the middle of WWII. I really enjoyed this book. I continue to look forward to more Stella's adventures.

Trilogy

I listened nonstop to the three books in this trilogy.
Very entertaining and well narrated by Justine Eyre, these are a good WWII addition to the genre.

What?

I only have the overall 4 stars because I am at a loss! Where is the rest? What happened to Oric? Is Abel still alive? PLEASE TELL ME THEY DO SOMETHING WITH THAT “Horrible hospital”! I love how Stella’s relationship with her mother turns into the relationship a mother and daughter should have! What about Ruth? SO MANY QUESTIONS! Please don’t stop telling these Stella stories! They are fantastic stories!!! You are an amazing writer! Give Stella some more adventures!

The most amazing book yet of the series!!

I’m so pleased with this book, it’s such a great addition to the series! It made me cry and laugh. This author is amazing! I can’t wait to read more about these characters. I am so enthralled in the story.
