I love this series. It really captures the reign of terror in Nazi Germany and the effect on individuals from all walks of life. The books are well researched and historically accurate. You will find them hard to put down so make sure you have enough money to buy the whole series before you start! Recommended..
A lot of things happened in this second book of this series that was originally written long before this sub-genre became so popular. The authors are really thorough in their research to give us a believable setting and characters.
