Praise for this book
A Parisian Intrigue is a fast-paced story focusing on the pilots who defended England from the Luftwaffe and the women of the SOE who were dropped into occupied France. The synopsis makes it sound like a love story, but it isn't. The engagement of Archie and Miriam was a casualty of the war, as each of them served their country. If you have an interest in WWII aviation, Archie flies just about every airplane the Brits used during the war. Miriam's story as an SOE agent was fascinating and unexpected, as her love of dancing took her to Paris. There is plenty of danger for both Archie and Miriam as they face off against the Nazis. I appreciated that the author didn't treat them as superheroes who defeated the Germans at every turn, but as flawed humans who did their best against the might of the Nazi regime.
Trust Your Training
The reader might wish for a fuller, more detailed plot, perhaps for more detailed characters, but by the end of A Parisian Intrigue satisfaction is had by all. Ms Parsons’ research is more than adequate, and includes bits and pieces of what it was to slip through France and Spain on the way to England. And while Ms Parsons has characters afraid to breathe hiding from Nazis she manages to build some tension in her readers as well. Thank you, Suzanne Parsons.
