Three Hours in Paris (A Kate Rees WWII Novel)
In June of 1940, when Paris fell to the Nazis, Hitler spent a total of three hours in the City of Light—abruptly leaving, never to return. To this day, no one knows why.
Kate Rees, a young American markswoman, has been recruited by British intelligence to drop into Paris with a dangerous assignment: assassinate the Führer. Wrecked by grief after a Luftwaffe bombing killed her husband and infant daughter, she is armed with a rifle, a vendetta, and a fierce resolve. But other than rushed and rudimentary instruction, she has no formal spy training. Thrust into the red-hot center of the war, a country girl from rural Oregon finds herself holding the fate of the world in her hands. When Kate misses her mark and the plan unravels, Kate is on the run for her life—all the time wrestling with the suspicion that the whole operation was a set-up.
New York Times bestselling author Cara Black is at her best as she brings Occupation-era France to vivid life in this masterful, pulse-pounding story about one young woman with the temerity—and drive—to take on Hitler himself.
*Features an illustrated map of 1940s Paris as full color endpapers.

As someone born and raised in Oregon, the fact that the main character (Kate) grew up in rural Oregon and finds herself caught in a dangerous mission thousands of miles across the Atlantic caught my eye immediately! This book did not disappoint. A tragedy strikes Kate during the first handful of pages that produces an opportunity that, if successful, could change the course of history. This novel is extremely well written. I was captivated between the entire length of this book. This is a story of bravery, survival and determination during one of the most atrocious periods in history.
This story is based on the real historical event of Hitler visiting Paris for his first and only time for three hours in June 23, 1940. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy suspenseful historical fiction novels with a strong female lead.
