I read fifteen books in August and this was another month when I read so many great books it was tough to whittle down my list to just five. Links from each title will take you to my review. You can find a list of all the books I’ve read so far in 2021 here.  If we’re not already friends on Goodreads, send me a friend request or follow my reviews.

The Girl Who Fell From The Sky by Simon Mawer – a compelling, action-packed story set in World War 2 occupied France
A Line To Kill (Hawthorne & Horowitz Mystery #3) by Anthony Horowitz – a clever, witty crime mystery set on the island of Alderney
End of Summer by Anders de la Motte – a compelling and insightful mystery
The Hidden Child by Louise Fein – a beautifully written, moving story about overcoming prejudice (full review to follow for blog tour)
The Unfortunate Englishman by John Lawton – a classy, perfectly paced Cold War spy thriller set in Berlin and Moscow
