7.28.2023 - The Paris Agent

The Paris Agent by Kelly Rimmer

Many thanks to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Graydon House for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest historical fiction novel by Kelly Rimmer - 4.5 stars rounded up!

In 1970, Charlotte is struggling with the grief of losing her mother, and her father, Noah, has been devastated.  When he decided to search for a man he said saved him during the war when he was a British SOE agent, Charlotte was shocked because she knew nothing of that part of his life.  But she was determined to help him and enlisted the aid of a professor and his researcher.

During the war, Fleur and Chloe were both recruited into the SOE and were parachuted into France.  Their short training did nothing to prepare them for what would await them.  But they soon became suspicious that one of the men they dealt with was a double agent.  

Kelly Rimmer has once again written a heartfelt, meticulously researched book that skillfully intertwines these two story and timelines into a seamless tale that is hard to put down.  You will feel for all the characters as well as their family members as so many sacrificed so much.  Be sure to read the author's note for the real-life connections.  Highly recommended!
