Carolyn | 1629 comments There were lots of interesting events in this novel based on the author's career, but overshadowed by the larger than life main character and the main story wasn't introduced until half way through and rushed.

PamG (lynguy1) | 2533 comments Here is my 4 star review of That Summer in Berlin That Summer in Berlin by Lecia Cornwall by Lecia Cornwall:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Historical fiction

Danger, intrigue, the Olympics, and a possible romance take center stage in this novel. The plot is twisty and the story kept me captivated despite a few slow spots. The historical references to events during the Olympics added a significant layer of interest and realism to the plot.

This is the only installment so far in the series that's written in Maud's POV. All the others have been from Dina's perspective. This can be read as a standalone.
