About this listen

You think we’re not in this together? How are you not 'one of us' Monsieur Duchene?

August, 1944. In German-occupied Paris, former schoolteacher Auguste Duchene has stumbled upon an unusual way to survive: he finds missing people. When he’s approached by members of the French Resistance to locate a missing priest - and a cache of stolen weapons - Duchene initially refuses. But the Resistance offer him no choice. Within hours, he’s also blackmailed by a powerful Nazi into searching for a German soldier who’s suspected of deserting.

To fail at either task will have deadly consequences for Duchene - and for his daughter Marienne. So begins a frantic race against time. As forces close in on Paris, Duchene has only 48 hours to locate the missing priest and the missing soldier, or lose the only person he loves....

A riveting mystery for fans of All the Light We Cannot See and The Da Vinci Code

This isn't my usual genre of choice, but it was recommended so I thought I'd give it a go.
The writing was so elegant and smooth, while the story drew you in, and without you realising it, you're caught up in the Paris occupation yourself.
I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but it was no where near the standard of storytelling and writing style I had the pleasure of enjoying!

Now I'm off to find what other books of AW Hammond I am find!

Definitely recommend.

A fabulous and gripping story with a big twist at the end. It really painted a picture filled with rich characters.

A real sense of Paris during the occupation and a great story
