Above Suspicion
Above Suspicion | Helen Macinnes
4 posts | 5 read | 1 to read
Richard and Frances Myles are preparing for their annual European summer vacation in 1939 when they are visited at their Oxford college by old friend Peter Galt, who has a seemingly simple job for them. But in the heightened atmosphere of pre-war Europe, nobody is above suspicion, in fact the husband and wife are being carefully monitored by shadowy figures. Above Suspicion was MacInnes’ breakthrough book, a bestseller published in 1941 and released as a movie in 1943, directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Joan Crawford and Fred MacMurray. “Hide and seek with death - in the shadow of terror... The hallmarks of a MacInnes novel of suspense are as individual and as clearly stamped as a Hitchcock thriller.” -The New York Times

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.
