The Paris Deception by Bryn Turnbull is a thrilling novel set during World War II. In England as the Second World. It follows the lives of two women that risk everything and being in danger during the war. Sophie Dix fled Stuttgart with her brother as the Nazi regime gained power in Germany. Now, Sophie reluctantly takes a job restoring damaged art at the Jeu de Paume museum under the supervision of the ERR—a German art commission that stole art from Jewish families. Fabienne Brandt was a rising star in the Parisian bohemian arts movement until the Nazis stopped the so-called “degenerate” modern art. She is resolved to make her way through the occupation —until her estranged sister-in-law, Sophie, arrives at her door with a stolen painting. Soon the two women formulate a plan to save Paris’s “degenerates,” working under the noses of Germany’s top art connoisseurs to replace the paintings in the Jeu de Paume with forgeries.

Turnbull does a wonderful job creating an inspirational story of bravery and courage during World War II. The Paris Deception had me turning the pages to the very end. This book is an easy 4 stars. I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves historical fiction and spy thrillers.
