NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • American-born spy and code-breaker extraordinaire Maggie Hope secretly navigates Nazi-occupied France to find two brave women during the darkest days of World War II in the latest novel in this bestselling series—“a treat for WWII buffs and mystery lovers alike” (Booklist, on The Prime Minister’s Secret Agent).

Maggie Hope has come a long way since serving as a typist for Winston Churchill. Now she’s working undercover for the Special Operations Executive in the elegant but eerily silent city of Paris, where SS officers prowl the streets in their Mercedes and the Ritz is draped with swastika banners. Walking among the enemy is tense and terrifying, and even though she’s disguised in chic Chanel, Maggie can’t help longing for home.

But her missions come first. Maggie’s half sister, Elise, has disappeared after being saved from a concentration camp, and Maggie is desperate to find her—that is, if Elise even wants to be found. Equally urgent, Churchill is planning the Allied invasion of France, and SOE agent Erica Calvert has been captured, the whereabouts of her vital research regarding Normandy unknown. Maggie must risk her life to penetrate powerful circles and employ all her talents for deception and spycraft to root out a traitor, find her sister, and locate the reports crucial to planning D-Day in a deadly game of wits with the Nazi intelligence elite.

This is a good entry on the series. I thought the characters were well developed and the reader is left with a complex ending. Perhaps a bit too much retrospect in the middle that could have been replaced with action....but overall, if you like the series, you will like this book.

A Good Entry

Maggie hope is amazing. She can think, act, scheme, lie, fly a plane, save lives --all while keeping a clear head and fighting for the right cause. She's not totally infallible, but in The Paris Spy, Susan Elia MacNeal places Maggie in the most important turning points of WW2. So far....

The BEST Yet!

This is high suspense all the way, with gut wrenching details. Not for the faint of heart. Good writing and great characters but a horrible cliffhanger at the end. I’m not sure I can handle the next one.

Couldn’t catch my breath

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t stop listening for hours on end. I thought the narrator did an excellent job with the different voices, languages and accents. The story was very well written and helped me to understand what it must have been like in occupied France during WWII. I didn’t care for the ending but I’m sure the author will tie it all together in her next book.

Great spy novel
