My Summary of The Paris Agent by Kelly Rimmer:

Welcome to my stop on the Harlequin Trade Publishing Summer 2023 Blog Tour. Thanks #NetGalley @HarlequinTrade_Books @HTPBooks for a complimentary e ARC of #The Paris Agent upon my request. All opinions are my own.

In the 1970s timeline, Noah lives in Liverpool and is haunted by memories of his time as a British operative in France during WWII. His daughter Charlotte is determined to help her father find answers. In the 1940s timeline, we follow the extraordinary lives of Chloe and Fleur and their career as spies in WWII. Will Noah find the answers he seeks? Has the intrigue from Noah’s past followed him into the present?

My Thoughts:

Suspense

Danger is around every corner and a consuming concern in the lives of spies. The Paris Agent has an abundance of page-turning action, intrigue, mystery, and suspense for fans of thrilling historical fiction.

Characters

If you love strong, capable, intelligent, and courageous spies, you might appreciate the imagined characters in The Paris Agent.

Reading Experience

I appreciate the author’s inclusion of vivid, descriptive details that helped me feel a part of the story. Rimmer has a unique way of drawing the reader immediately into the narrative.

Each spy has multiple code names. In my reading experience, I found this confusing even though I took notes. I frequently stopped to reread or check my notes. For this reason, I suggest the print version and not an audio format.

Content Considerations

Difficult content includes war atrocities, imprisonment, sacrifice, torture, suicide, physical abuse, and grief.

Recommending The Paris Agent

I’m recommending The Paris Agent for fans of Kelly Rimmer, for readers who appreciate intense and suspenseful WWII content, and for those who love stories with a dual timeline and multiple viewpoints.
