In 1944, Special Operations Executive wireless operator Marie survived being locked in a shed after a blind landing in the French countryside. After a week of secret radio transmissions to London, she is tasked with retrieving a package in the alleys of Montmartre, an action outside her purview. With a package of TNT strapped to her waist, Marie must navigate across Paris without the Germans spotting her. Will she meet her contact at the train station, then get back to her secret flat in a nearby small town?
The Lost Girls of Paris, by Pam Jenoff, is a page-turning thriller wrapped inside a mystery. Alternating chapters focus on Grace, Eleanor, Josie, and Marie. Readers will fall in love with these courageous and clever women.
