I guess I'm on a kick? Her first novel. Quick read and I didn't even mind a few terribly convenient turn of events that helped out characters outwit Nazis. Such an interesting author!

Good debut for Helen MacInnes and an entertaining read. Written prior to the invasion of Poland during WWII and you can definitely feel the tension of the times while reading. Richard and Frances Myles were very believable characters and it was amazing that in 1939 MacInnes was able to pinpoint the treatment by the Nazi gestapo. I would recommend this book to those interested in WW2 espionage and I look forward to reading more novels by MacInnes.
This was an enjoyable romp of a spy thriller, but it hasn't aged well. Read my goodreads review at: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/550726.Above_Suspicion.
