bibliophelia's review against another edition
4.0
I adore the adventures of Olivia Redmund! This was a little harder to read as I listen to my books and no audio version was released- I was relegated to the kindle’s text to speech capabilities.
Kate writes a world which you can totally immerse yourself in and picture easily. As a polyglot myself, I was fascinated by how quickly the characters were able to continually switch back and forth in languages and keep it straight!
The Katrine character reminded me of toddlers I’ve played with as a child. I was sure that apple didn’t fall very far from the tree in her self centeredness.
Fritz’ over the top and blind belief in the superiority of the Nazi system, I fear, was not far off from that of those at the time. I totally didn’t expect him to be the murder victim though, and his death to be so easily “resolved” by the Danish authorities.
I did like the resolution of Olivia and Katrine’s relationship; but it leads me to wonder if giving updates so far into the war- this might be the end of the series?
Please, Kate- say it isn’t so!
Till the next Deadly adventure- check this one out!!!

slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Audiobook (All of my entries on The Story Graph are audiobooks.)
#9 in series (I started reading this series on 2/3/20 and I have been committed to this series since 8/10/22.)
Will I read other installments?Probably Not Maybe Definitely
I've been committed to this series for over a year. I have already purchased the next installment.
Comparison to others in series:Not as good About the same Better
Kate Parker can be harsh (or maybe she's just read that way), but the stories are interesting enough. This book had what I call an "extended ending"; it kept going on and on.
The narrator was Henrietta Meire. She is a good voice for Kate Parker.
