A review by ridgewaygirl
The Information Officer by Mark Mills

3.0

The Information Officer is a wartime thriller in the style of Alan Furst. Taking place on the Mediterranean island of Malta during the fierce bombing raids of 1942, the story follows Max Chadwick, in charge of presenting a British view of events to the inhabitants, and his actions after he learns that someone, probably British, is murdering young Maltese women. The story is fast paced and well plotted, if implausible. Malta's part of the Second World War that is not that well known, at least here in the United States and the presentation of its history and role in the war was well done and not intrusive. I enjoyed this book, and hope that Mills continues to explore the era.
