Pam Jenoff is one of my favorite authors. I loved "Orphan Train". Her newest book, takes us on an adventure of undercover women agents during the war. I loved this book and couldn't put it down.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy. This is my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

Thank you so much to Net Galley and HARLEQUIN-Trade Publishing Co. for the chance to read and review this book! It was fantastic! The story takes place in 1946. Grace finds an abandoned suitcase in Grand Central Terminal. Unable to control her curiosity, she opens the suitcase and finds 12 photographs of women in uniform. So begins her search to find out who these women were and why their photographs are in the abandoned suitcase. She discovers these women were female secret agents deployed out of London during the war. The suitcase belonged to Eleanor Trigg, who was in charge of these women. The mystery of what happened to these brave women is a heartbreaking story that will stay with the reader. It is not a story you will forget quickly. I highly recommend this book-it is incredible!

3.5 Stars. Pam Jenoff knows how to write historical fiction. I am not typically a big reader of this genre, especially with romantic elements thrown in, but her books draw me in. I learn something new and get taken on an adventure. While I don’t feel this book was as strong as her “The Orphan’s Tale”, this was an engaging read. I strongly recommend this author.

Pam Jenoff is truly a remarkable author in every book she writes. This book gives a person an insight into the "other" people of the war who also sacrificed their lives by doing extremely dangerous work without receiving any any acknowledgment.. A truly wonderful book and well worth reading.

World War II has only been over for about a year when Grace finds a suitcase under a bench in Grand Central Station. The case belongs to Eleanor Trigg, a woman who was the leader of a band of female secret agents. Twelve of those women were sent to Europe and were never seen or heard from again. The case contains photos of those women and Grace makes it her mission to find out what really happened to them. This book was both fascinating and heartbreaking, so many women were instrumental in helping win the war, but their stories have not been told, their names have been forgotten. A gem of a book that makes me grateful for the bravery of the women who came before me

I could not put this book down. It's the type of book where the minute you're done you want to flip back to the first page and start again.

Pam Jenoff is truly a gifted author and always manages to blow me away! In The Lost Girls of Paris she combines historical fiction, general fiction, women’s fiction, mystery/suspense and even a touch of romance— and does it brilliantly!!! This novel is captivating, fascinating and most of all, inspiring (soooooooo inspiring). This is the kind of book that stays with you, I haven’t gotten these characters out of my brain! Even though this book is a complete standalone, I would LOVE a follow-up novel because I’m not ready to say goodbye to the characters/storyline (yep, it’s that epic). The Lost Girls of Paris is a total 5+++ star read!! If you’re looking for perfect book club selection, this is it!
