Theresa Howes

"The French Affair" was my first novel by Theresa Howes, and I have to say, I absolutely loved it!
The cover is stunning, and the story is packed with drama and suspense that kept me hooked from start to finish.

The book follows Iris Foley, a secret agent for British Intelligence during WWII, who returns to her aunt’s home in Dijon. Upon her arrival, she learns her aunt has passed away, and the locals are tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding her death. Iris has also been given show more the mission to eliminate a British traitor, Guy Mason, who has followed her to France. As she races against time to complete her mission, she knows that being seen with Mason could put her life in danger, especially now that he's a German officer.

This novel was a true nail-biter. The tension Howes built was intense, and Guy Mason was truly one of the most repulsive characters I’ve come across. I felt on concerned for Iris every time she was near him, and that sense of danger only heightened as the plot unfolded.

"The French Affair "was a fantastic read that not only kept me captivated from start to finish, but it also showcased the incredible courage and risks taken by female spies during the war. Truly gripping! show less
