"The author’s research has captured the tension that those who lived through that time experienced at deep levels. Kelly Rimmer’s scenes in both eras are fraught with anxiety, urging the reader to keep turning the page, anxious to learn about each character’s experiences, right up to the very end." — New York Journal of Books

For fans of fast-paced historical thrillers like Our Woman in Moscow and The Rose Code, Kelly Rimmer’s dramatic new novel follows two female SOE operatives whose lives will be determined by a double agent in their midst.

Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory—in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.

Moved by her father’s frustration, Noah’s daughter Charlotte begins a search for answers that resurrects the stories of Chloe and Fleur, the code names for two otherwise ordinary women whose lives intersect in 1943 when they’re called up by the SOE for deployment in France. Taking enormous risks to support the allied troops with very little information or resources, the women have no idea they’re at the mercy of a double agent among them who's causing chaos within the French circuits, whose efforts will affect the outcome of their lives…and the war.

But as Charlotte’s search for answers bears fruit, overlooked clues come to light about the identity of the double agent—with unsettling hints pointing close to home—and more shocking events are unearthed from the dangerous, dramatic last days of the war that lead to Chloe and Fleur’s eventual fates.

Can’t Stop Listening!

The Paris Agent does not disappoint. The story lures you in and doesn’t let go. And as always, Rimmer provides insight into parts of history that are often glossed over.

Wonderful

I don't normally leave reviews unless it's a story that is melded together in the perfect way! This story did not disappoint! Highly Recommend!!

Great listen

There were three narrators. All were excellent. Story was well written and I may have cried near the end.

Great Read

This was a fantastic listen. The plot was mysterious and kept me wanting to read more and more.! I would recommend it totally

Wow another great story

Rimmer is an amazing story teller. I highly recommend all of her books. She does the research needed to make the stories work.

Compelling historical drama

An inspiring story based on the lives of female SOE agents working in France towards the end of WWII. The characters are well drawn and fun to hear about. Although the outcome of the story was foreshadowed early in the book, I was eager to see how it all came together.

Story

Excellent character development voices very good. Historical context moving. All around well done. Highly recommend

Great story. Well-told. Kelly Rimmer never disappoints. Fun to watch two storylines converge as history and today eventually collide. Great book

What a great historical fiction listen

I really enjoyed this book. The author did such a good job drawing me into each characters story. I loved traveling through time with her accounts of SOE agents through the war. It was nice to have the detailed explanations at the end of the book that inspired these characters.

Loved this story!

This book spans 2 generations and tugs at several heart strings. Exciting, and we’ll written. Such a fascinating part of history.
