wallymountz's review against another edition
4.0
A creative WWII British-France espionage story. Well told with a very good plot line.

I went through a phase in high school where I would just read Jack Higgins' WWII thrillers over and over. It's been years since I last picked them up, but I remember them fondly, had a chance to read Cold Harbour, and wanted to give it a crack. Turns out I'd read it before, though I barely remembered the plot until I was probably a quarter of the way through it.
Overall it is a good story. Face paced, exciting, filled with an interesting cast of characters carrying out the ever action packed cloak and dagger act that I love from Higgins' books. It certainly isn't his best story, but it is good nonetheless and I'm glad to have revisited it. Even had I not read it before, I think I'd find it a tad predictable, but I don't mind that when it comes to a quick read like this one.
