This story was a bit Meh for me. I picked it up because I’m a sucker for books that involve anything to do with Nazis and WWII, so between the title and the synopsis then you have definitely got me interested. Colour me surprised when the Nazis and WWII was minimal at best, this was my first disappointment and then there was the stereotypical American with the French femme fatale and the book began to feel like a US drama where everything is solved in 45 minutes (1 hour with ads). I liked Hugo the main character but he wore a suit with a fedora and cowboy boots; (because he was from Texas) with that get-up any bad guy could surveil our hero without being seen no problem, between this and the author’s incessant mentioning the he was ex-FBI, if he said it once he said it a 100 times; cue new drinking game if I read any more of these books, it was all a bit of a turn off. The murder/mystery was an easy one to figure out with me yelling at the pages trying to make our hero hear me.

This book was however and great advertisement for French tourism.
