The book really does sound quite captivating with different historical events and friends who have their own separate and intriguing individual lives but are a part of something bigger due to which their stories intertwine. At least that's what it sounds like to me. Your review really shows that you enjoyed it. Great work!
That's true. The way the book was written helped me to have a better understanding regarding the timeline of historical events in different countries. I appreciate your comment.

Thanks for another insightful review! I like that the historical scenes are fast-paced because this genre sometimes can get bogged down with too many historical details. I'm off to read the sample!

The author unveils good orientation of the plot to the reader that makes it interesting, especially the courageous Abby. The best part of it is the success of every actor. This crime thriller is good.

Wow, this book sounds really awesome. I usually don't like historical type novels but this one seems to have a ton of original ideas around the historical connections. I may have to read this one soon. Thanks for the well-written review.

Abby and her friends have a strong heart. I say this because it's not all that experience a trauma that can move on easily. And also being a journalist will help her to write about her story...

A historical thriller revolving around Chicago Tribune's college interns who got mixed with the mob and became a target sounds exciting. That it is based on true events and describes accurately the atmosphere in 1930s' Berlin is impressive. It is good that the book was well edited despite a couple of errors. Thank you for the review!
