I received a paperback copy of FIFTH
COLUMN by Mike Hollow from Lion Fiction via Kregel in exchange for an honest
review. It is the second installment in the Blitz
Detective series. I really liked book
one, so I was excited to explore this one.
The setting is World War II in
London, England. I am a sucker for
historical fiction. I’m also a sucker
for mysteries, even if I can never guess the bad guy. I enjoy Mike Hollow’s mysteries, as most of
the ones I read are about Medieval England or the modern day. I enjoy “exploring” the London Blitz. He places you right into the action with his
characters.
I’m often asked if you need to
read book one before book two. With this
series, you should be fine picking up here.
This book involves Detective Inspector John Jago investigating a woman’s
dead at a bomb site.
I highly recommend this to history buffs and mystery fans. It is certainly a page turner. The mystery itself will keep you on the edge
of your seat. You can tell that the
author, Mike Hollow, has certainly done his research. This fine eye for detail is what makes FIFTH
COLUMN really shine.
