The Swiss Courier

Back in college I had to take a class called Children's Lit in order to become a teacher. I love to read and so I was excited about the class. As a part of the class, I had to read 60 children's books from various genre's. One of my least favorite was Science Fiction. Matter of fact, out of the 10 Sci Fi books I was supposed to read, I read a grand total of 3. Yeah -- that probably affected my grade.....

Anyways - I learned during that class that one of my favorite genre's was Historical Fiction. I loved it! So, when I was offered the chance to review The Swiss Courier, I was so excited! And the book hasn't let me down. I'm going to be honest and tell ya'll that I haven't quite finished the book because of all the craziness around here as of late, but I am LOVING it. It has great twists and turns and keeps me in suspense. I have had to make myself put it down and go do what I have had to get done this week because it this book has kept em so engaged in the characters that I didn't want to put it down.

If you love Historical Fiction - especially if you like the World War II Era-- you gotta go get this book. It is great. I can't wait to see what happens in the end! Thank you, LitFuse, for providing this book for me to review!!!!

About the book!
It is August 1944 and the Gestapo is mercilessly rounding up suspected enemies of the Third Reich. When Joseph Engel, a German physicist working on the atomic bomb, finds that he is actually a Jew, adopted by Christian parents, he must flee for his life to neutral Switzerland. Gabi Mueller is a young Swiss-American woman working for the newly formed American Office of Strategic Services (the forerunner to the CIA) close to Nazi Germany. When she is asked to risk her life to safely "courier" Engel out of Germany, the fate of the world rests in her hands. If she can lead him to safety, she can keep the Germans from developing nuclear capabilities. But in a time of traitors and uncertainty, whom can she trust along the way? This fast-paced, suspenseful novel takes readers along treacherous twists and turns during a fascinating--and deadly--time in history.
