Songbird Under A German Moon

The year is 1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy Hitler's Germany. The first nights performance is a hit. Betty becomes enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they're housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop when Betty's dear friend, Kat, turns up missing. Betty soon realizes Franks photographs could be the key to finding Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the two lovebirds' hearts may find the answers...in each other.

But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will be revealed under a German moon.
It was unfair to this book that I had read two previous edge of my seat thrillers that caused this romantic mystery to seem slow. The mystery itself was interesting and a very enjoyable read.  I have liked all of Tricia's books and look forward to reading her in the future.

Tricia Goyer is the author of twenty books including From Dust and Ashes, My Life UnScripted, and the children's book, 10 Minutes to Showtime. She won Historical Novel of the Year in 2005 and 2006 from ACFW, and was honored with the Writer of the Year award from Mt. Hermon Writer's Conference in 2003. Tricia's book Life Interrupted was a finalist for the Gold Medallion in 2005. In addition to her novels, Tricia writes non-fiction books and magazine articles for publications like Today's Christian Woman and Focus on the Family. Tricia is a regular speaker at conventions and conferences, and has been a workshop presenter at the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) International Conventions. She and her family make their home in the mountains of Montana.

It's hard to bring yourself back to zero for a new book after ripping through some great thrillers!!

Thank you for being honest. At least I'm aware of the slower pace, and won't expect the bang I got from Tricia's previous book I read.

I've never read any of Tricia's previous books so I have nothing to compare to. Love the cover and thanks for the honest review.

I've heard a lot of good things about this one. Sorry to hear it was a bit slow for you.

I hope it's okay that I linked to your review on the Book Reviews: WWII page on War Through the Generations.
