Reviews

[Paula · Rating 3 out of 5]

While finalization of their divorce is pending, a pair of journalists compete for leads to search for a missing fortune. Unfortunately, this plot was predictable.

[AlwaysV · Rating 3 out of 5]

The HEA couple was very unpleasant towards each other. I first rated the story 2 stars. But then the way it ended had earned another star. I appreciated how the author gave me a different insight into the torment and regrets of the three traitors of WWII. I hadn't wanted to know that they had suffered for forty years. That there were shaded of war-crime activities. Sure, they had to die. But one of them had managed to get his descendant to save the lives of the HEA couple. The visits to Morocco & Austria almost deserved another star. . . except what happened there was all terrible.

I figured out who did it the moment they left for Europe. I hated the characters - whiny, verbally abusive, and just plain stupid. Enough said.

Excellent Story

I really enjoyed this book. I have read several of Heather Graham's books and three best are The Crewe Of Hunters. I love them all.
