The Paris Spy

A Maggie Hope Mystery

De: Susan Elia MacNeal

Narrado por: Susan Duerden

American-born spy and code-breaker extraordinaire Maggie Hope secretly navigates Nazi-occupied France to find two brave women during the darkest days of World War II in the latest novel in this New York Times best-selling series - "a treat for WWII buffs and mystery lovers alike" (Booklist, on The Prime Minister's Secret Agent).

Maggie Hope has come a long way since serving as a typist for Winston Churchill. Now she's working undercover for the Special Operations Executive in the elegant but eerily silent city of Paris, where SS officers prowl the streets in their Mercedes and the Ritz is draped with swastika banners. Walking among the enemy is tense and terrifying, and even though she's disguised in chic Chanel, Maggie can't help longing for home.

But her missions come first. Maggie's half-sister, Elise, has disappeared after being saved from a concentration camp, and Maggie is desperate to find her - that is, if Elise even wants to be found. Equally urgent, Churchill is planning the Allied invasion of France, and SOE agent Erica Calvert has been captured, the whereabouts of her vital research regarding Normandy unknown. Maggie must risk her life to penetrate powerful circles and employ all her talents for deception and spycraft to root out a traitor, find her sister, and locate the reports crucial to planning D-Day in a deadly game of wits with the Nazi intelligence elite.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"You will grieve with Paris. You will be outraged by the destruction. You will be terrified for all the heroes, be there with them every step, and care desperately that they succeed and survive. And perhaps above all, like me, you will be overwhelmed with their sacrifice for the freedom we still enjoy." (Anne Perry, New York Times best-selling author of the Pitt and Monk Series)

"This has to be Maggie Hope's most exciting adventure yet. Vivid and fast-paced, crammed with authentic detail, The Paris Spy is an extraordinary trip through the edgy drama of wartime Paris, skillfully plotted and studded with cameos of real historical figures." (Jane Thynne, author of the Clara Vine series)

" The Paris Spy is a new mystery you won't put down until the absolutely stunning conclusion. Only Susan Elia MacNeal - and the extraordinary Maggie Hope - could wrap such a tale of courage and betrayal around a secret that will cost lives and honor to protect."

Loved this book! Love the series

I loved this book! It's as great as the rest of them in the series! I hope the story keeps going!

A Good Entry

This is a good entry on the series. I thought the characters were well developed and the reader is left with a complex ending. Perhaps a bit too much retrospect in the middle that could have been replaced with action....but overall, if you like the series, you will like this book.

The BEST Yet!

Maggie hope is amazing. She can think, act, scheme, lie, fly a plane, save lives --all while keeping a clear head and fighting for the right cause. She's not totally infallible, but in The Paris Spy, Susan Elia MacNeal places Maggie in the most important turning points of WW2. So far....

Couldn’t catch my breath

This is high suspense all the way, with gut wrenching details. Not for the faint of heart. Good writing and great characters but a horrible cliffhanger at the end. I’m not sure I can handle the next one.

Excellent series!

Another installment is a 5 star story and a 5 Star audio performance. I can’t wait for the next book to be written. The book narrator does a great job - sometimes I am sure there is more than one because the characters are so distinctive. The plot was interesting and hAd enough depth to keep me on the “edge of my read”. I wish all audio books were so good.

Cliffhanger!

I really enjoy the Maggie Hope series! The books are so well written, and I think they stay quite close to actual facts and events from WWII. Told in a way that keeps me interested and listening for more!

It's hard if we have to wait a year for the next book.

Great spy novel

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t stop listening for hours on end. I thought the narrator did an excellent job with the different voices, languages and accents. The story was very well written and helped me to understand what it must have been like in occupied France during WWII. I didn’t care for the ending but I’m sure the author will tie it all together in her next book.

Very thought provoking

What a cliff hanger, nail biter, emotional rollercoaster and so intriguing! This one really makes you think about what choices you would make in situations such as those encountered during WWII, quite terrifying considering the current state of the world. Loved it but now I’m in turmoil, in my books that’s the best credit any writer could get, make the readers really think!

Enjoyable

I have the whole series. I can't wait for the next book to come out. If you haven't heard these books you're missing out. The reader is awesome!

Another exciting Maggie hope adventure!

I have been hooked on this author since “Princess Elizabeth’s spy” and this book certainly did not disappoint. I do, however, have an issue with the narrator, who becomes very “Sing songie”.
