The Paris Deception by Bryn Turnbull
I LOVE historical fiction, I just with this was more historical than fiction. Rose, the only real character of the "heroes" was only a side character in this book. Yes, the art forgeries was an interesting concept. But, unfortunately it didn't happen. And Rose, who really did work at one of the art museums, and who really did work to track all of the art that was stolen by the Nazi's, was not a focus of the story. I get that her work with the resistance was very subtle and would not have made for as exciting of a story, but it would have been interesting. Instead, I am left sat that Sophie, Fabien, and Sebastian were not real. Despite that, I adored this book. The audiobook narrator was spectacular. I am not a huge fan of time jumps and but the few glimpses of the past were not too jarring and did not take away from the flow of the story. Very much recommend. I would definitely read more from this author.
