Swiss Courier


Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey teamed up to write a compelling WWII spy/love story, set in "neutral" Switzerland. I love reading Tricia's books because it's like getting a whole history lesson in a novel. It's always fun to catch a new tidbit and go figure out if it's made up or reality. Most of the time, it really happened that way! For example, American pilots who got shot down over Switzerland were detained there for the duration of the war. Trying to escape Switzerland meant imprisonment. Even though Switzerland maintained neutrality, they sided more with the Germans than the Allies. Both sides maintained a network of spies there. Fascinating stuff, and the way Tricia and Mike depicted it makes the book a fast page-turner. I loved it!

Now, on to the FTC notice I'm supposed to give. (ahem)... The book was generously provided by Litfuse publicity in return for a review. However, I maintain the right to give my honest opinion (and regular blog readers can attest that I don't adore every single book I review, though I can usually find something good to say about every book I read). More on this in another post.
