This is historical fiction, taking place during the year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It focuses on a mother and daughter who suddenly pick up and move from New York to California. Once there, they come across a Nazi cell and agree to work with the FBI to infiltrate their group to gain inside information. One would think this would be an action-packed story or one full of scenarios keeping you on the edge of your seat, but it’s not. It’s actually pretty slow. I was also hoping it would be a book with female empowerment, but it doesn’t really have that feel either. Yes, these woman are doing something brave that they aren’t trained for, but it doesn’t give off that vibe. Overall, it was just an OK book for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bantam for gifting me with an advanced copy to read and review. My apologies for not reading it prior to publication.
