the life of an innocent man - forever.

In the
spring of 1939, the drums of war beat throughout Europe, but nowhere more
ferociously than in Berlin. The film studio where Clara Vine works is churning
out movies, but each day that she stays in Germany is more dangerous than the
last. Spying on the private life of the Third Reich, passing secrets to
contacts in British intelligence, falling into a passionate affair—any of these
risky moves could get Clara shot. So she is wholly shaken when someone close to
her is murdered instead. The victim is Lottie Franke, an aspiring costume
designer and student at the prestigious Faith and Beauty finishing school that
trains young women to become the wives of the Nazi elite. While the press
considers Lottie's death in the Grunewald forest the act of a lone madman,
Clara uncovers deeper threads, tangled lines that seem to reach into the
darkest depths of the Reich—and to a precious discovery that Hitler and his
ruthless cohorts would kill for.
The Silent Girls is now on my list! Great review!
