I'm struggling to review this one! It's definitely a pick - it was a gripping read, and, despite my resistance at the start to this 'perfect couple', Saffron Courtney was an engaging main character.

Occasionally it was uncomfortable to read as fiction, dealing with the start of the holocaust, and undercover work that required Nazi viewpoints to be expressed. The storyline at times felt just a little far-fetched or over-the-top.

My other quibble, despite the strong female lead, is the writing of women, which at times felt ... shall we say old-fashioned?

Overall, though, despite my reservations, I found this to be a well-written page-turner, incredibly readable, and will probably read others in the series.
