This slips straight into the story beautifully. We have the inner machinations of Jennie and the backstory of how Malcolm did her wrong.
I’ve read Alan’s books, and this one is the best. It’s my favourite because it feels relaxed. The writer is confident in his craft. He knows what he’s doing and exactly where he’s going.
The book is heavy on the description, but that is perfect for the period and genre, and it’s just enough ‘chocks away’ in dialogue to transport the reader to WWII.
Malcolms got himself in a mess, and Jennie’s the girl to get him out of it.
What I love most about this book was the attention to detail and the research that’s gone into getting that detail right.
Great nostalgia for times gone by—even though I’m not quite that old.

Katherine Black / Susan (Sooz) Simpson
Founder of Best Book Editors
Katherine has held almost every single job imaginable, from painting gnomes to zookeeper. She spent most of her life in the caring profession and has managed both a nursing home and a care agency. But her passion for the written language always brings her home to novel writing.
Born in Tyne-and-Wear, North-East England, she has settled in the beautiful Lake District, Cumbria, with her partner, two dogs, a cat, an iguana and a python (just don’t ask her which of those six things is her favourite!).
She specialises in content creation and social media outreach, and has been a developmental editor for hundreds of clients. She owns and operates bestbookeditors.com where she helps foundling authors polish their skills. However, after being diagnosed with a dramatic brain condition in 2022, she has had to let 23 staff go, and scale back the business. BBE is still very much open, we are just fewer and can’t take as much work on.
Katherine Black is the author of psychological thriller/detective/fantasy adventure novels.
