Hedda

I found myself quite smitten by this book, it has a blending of genteel Britishness mixed with John Wick! I had not read Jan so i don’t know if that should be a prerequisite but as a historical/action thriller this is a damned fine book, excellent read

This book works very well as a stand-alone story, but there is one glaring inaccuracy in the plot. I learned from a nonfiction book I read on the women of Bletchley Park that it was VERY hard to get into work at Bletchley, and once there, almost impossible to be allowed to transfer out until the end of the war. Lady Jean Gordon managed it in 1945 but someone who wasn’t the daughter of a Duke and recommended by Lord Mountbatten?

A highly readable novel with a strong cast of characters, whose varied adventures grasp the reader;'s attention and hold his or her interest throughout. Although we don't get a great deal of insight into the psychological development or emotions of principal characters in the course of the novel, for the general reader they are sufficiently well drawn to engage the sympathy of the reader who will care what happens to them. We hold our breaths collectively, wondering whether our heroes and heroines will succeed in their activities as British spies and members of the Resistance, or evade capture and torture by the Nazis, and how they will negotiate the ups and downs of their romantic attachments. The 'twist' at the end, with the rather too-fortuitous partner exchange where the two Polish and the two German protagonists ended up married seemed a little contrived, but many readers will, I suspect, forgive it and give the author the benefit of the doubt. Recommended for general readers, especially those interested in stories of WW2 and the Resistance.

Hedda is a novel about British intelligence during World War Two. The novel details the risks operatives faced on a daily basis. It's a fascinating story about the heroes behind enemy lines. I enjoyed the book.

This book was just made for me. Written to utter perfection on a topic that I just can't stop reading on. Definitely pick it up all you crime/thriller fans. Definitely pick it up.
