Very touchy, controversial undertones, but such a good story line. It is a topic that I am sure was fairly common back in those times though. The fact that it is based on a true story is even more crazy.

3.5 ⭐ rounded up

This story is inspired by a Queen’s housewife whose notorious past as a Nazi camp guard, the Stomping Mare, was discovered and action was eventually taken to have her extradited and face trial in Germany.

Shocking is a word I’d use to describe this story. Author Stacy Kean has harnessed this emotion to get our attention focused on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the unforeseen outcomes of Operation Paperclip.

Buckle up, Helma Braun’s days are numbered. Justice will be served.

I was gifted this copy by Level Best Books and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

This was a really well done historical mystery genre, it had that overall feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the time-period being used. The plot has that element that I was looking for and was glad it worked overall. Stacy Kean wrote this perfectly and am excited for more like this.

Nothing ordinary about Nazis…such a brutal past that Hannah and her sisters faced….no one we should face humiliation of any kind ….
