This is another WW-2 story and after reading so many about the Holocaust, I wasn't sure I was able to tackle another. However, Mr. Balson's depiction totally immersed me again with his true story of a Holocaust Survivor, combining fact with fiction flawlessly.
I love the team of private investigator Liam Taggard and his lawyer wife, Catherine Lockhard. The case they took on kept me on edge and anxious. After all, finding twins that were lost 70 years ago during the war had to be an impossible task to say the least.
I had already solved the deepest mystery of the case, but in no way did it take away from the tearful ending of this exceptional read.

I enjoyed Balson's first novel and gave a pass to a few issues as being a first novel; not so with this, his third novel. This book reads as though it is a list of awful things which happened to Jewish people during WWII. There were no characters that I felt invested in learning their outcome. Over 60 yrs. later a woman is searching for two babies left behind, really? how does one make that reasonable? One woman lived through every possible experience: factory, work camp, concentration camp, various abuses, came in contact with numerous officers and spies....book received in goodreads giveaway with expectation of a fair/unbiased review
