Detectives, Dover and murder!

When the Germans Come by David Hewson        

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


The world’s gone mad! It’s 1940 and just after the Dunkirk retreat in Dover. The place where a German invasion would surely land.
The Castle, an imposing fortress like building overlooks Dover and its harbour. The Castle houses a myriad of Ministry departments including one devoted to dirty tricks, of far fetched ideas. Dover and the Castle is a place on the defensive footing.
Into this madness comes Louis Reynard, a former Scotland Yard detective, who was wounded during the Dunkirk evacuation. He’s maybe just a little mad or lost, maybe both. His Aunt Veronica, a renowned actress of the West End, and doyen of the Dover area, has a word in the right ears. When he’d recovered Louis found himself posted to the quietness of Dover. Not that that lasted!
Now he’s dealing with murder, treason and German agents.
He’s also being haunted by a serial killer whom Renaud believes killed his fiancĂ©. The killer is obsessed with Renaud.
Then there’s the Canadian reporter Jessica.
The pressure did not stop. The last section is a shocker.
Super read!
