The Paris Agent

The Paris Agent is a moving, poignant, thought provoking, at times suspenseful, and often heart-wrenching historical fiction novel.

What appealed to you the most in this story?

When historical fiction is done right, you should feel like you are transported back to that era - and I did. I truly felt like I was on a journey with these characters, a marker of excellent historical fiction. But what really made this book one I will never forget was the emotional connection I felt with the characters and story itself. Kelly Rimmer really is a master, and she held my emotions in the palm of her hand right up till the very last page…And yes, tears were shed.

How was the research?

Rimmer is a phenomenal author who meticulously researches her books, and it is evident on every page of this emotional and complex story. So many historical facts were woven into this story. I read about the lead up to WWII, PTSD, secret operations, and so much more. Facts combined with complex characters and a part of history we cannot forget are brought together brilliantly and will leave you questioning what you would do during this time period.

How was the pace?

Fast! I flew through the pages!

Do you recommend this book?

I cannot recommend this book enough! This truly is an exquisite story with complex characters and a lot of emotion. It is filled to the brim with everything from the brutality of war to friendships, to tragedy, to heartbreak and finally hope - this is such a compelling read that it will stay with you long after you have turned the final page.
