What first drew me into this book was the cover. Something about it just draws me in, and I think that perhaps it is the snowy scene. I love thrillers/suspense, but I haven't read much in the way of thrillers based during the war as I tend to find them to be more along the lines of contemporary fiction. From the first sentence of this excerpt, I was drawn in and wanting to read more! I love that it is written in the first person but almost as if it is a biography. If this book continues to be written as well as the except was, I can imagine it becoming one of my favourite books!
