They will stop at nothing to destroy the notebook and silence those who know of the secret hidden inside. . .Readers LOVE The Paris Notebook! A unique historical fiction story that stands out from other books in the genre.’ NetGalley reviewer, This is the third installment in the Dr. Thomas Silkstone franchise, as it continues the exploits of its eponymous investigator during his time in the eighteenth century. First published on the first of January in 2013, this was to be the next adventure in the ongoing saga of the doctor, as he gets his next case to investigate. Following in the same style and tone, it manages to recapture the overall ambiance of the series, giving the readers more of what they want with it.Emerging from his home into the streets of Oxfordshire, Joseph Makepeace seems to be suffering from convulsions, as his eyes appear open wide, as if he’s witnessed an evil terror. The local residents though are more suspicious and believe him to be possessed by the devil itself, having entered his soul and causing him to act in such a manor. Then his son and daughter are found to have had their heads bashed in with a shovel, as they lie murdered, a discovery which appears to seal the fate of Joseph as the culprit for many. Will Dr. Thomas Silkstone be able to get to the truth and past the superstition? Can he find the real culprit before it’s too late? What will become of them all as they feel the burn of the devil’s breath? Find the hottest teen books, connect with your favorite YA authors and meet new friends who share your reading interests! It would be gullible to assume all German citizens supported and believed in their deranged Fuhrer. A wonderfully written, lovely paced book. I read late into the night, couldn't wait to see what happened.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After Katja and Dr. Viktor arrived in Paris and had settled into their separate rooms at the hotel, Katja ventured out to the Shakespeare and Company bookshop. It was there that Katja met Sylvia Beach, the owner and Daniel Keenan, a journalist originally from Ireland. Both Daniel and Katja were immediately drawn to each other. There was an instant attraction between the two of them but so much more. Daniel harbored a tragic past, though. He was unable to let it go and the only thing that masked it was liquor. That afternoon, Katja was drawn to Daniel in a way that she had never been drawn to anyone else. Daniel impressed Katja with his knowledge of literature and authorships. She didn’t want their time together to end. How silly of her! They had just met. What did she know about him?

A unique historical fiction story that stands out from other books in the genre.' NetGalley reviewer, Readers LOVE The Paris Notebook ! ‘So many twists and turns and I certainly didn’t predict the ending. Five stars from me, I highly recommend this book.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Katja Heinz is the main character who lives with her widowed mother. She finds work at Dr Viktor medical Clinic as his personal assistant and typist of his patients medical records. Katja's job is to type up a top secret medical records from a notebook that must not be revealed. The Paris Notebook is a unique twist on the dime-a-dozen World War 2 novels that have become so ubiquitous the past decade. Don't get me wrong, many of them are marvelous books. But so many share the same general plot. This is a fresh idea, and superbly written.

Doctor ViKtor wants his medical notes and thoughts about the dictator published, he and Katja travel to Paris. Here Katja meets two people who will have an influence on the decisions she makes, her safety and future. One is Irish journalist Daniel Keenan and the other is Sylvia Beach the American owner of the bookshop called, Shakespeare and Company. Katja and Doctor Viktor are being watched, at the clinic, and their movements around Hamburg and in Paris. Not only do they have to worry about German spies, Doctor Viktor has made enemies at the hospital and they would do anything to get rid of him.

I thoroughly enjoyed the novel! The story flowed well, the characters and dilemmas believable and placed within historical events. I thought the wrap up to end a little anticlimactic but it still had a wonderful end! A mix of danger, suspense, mystery, romance and heartbreaking choices make for a story I would definitely recommend.' NetGalley reviewer, So many twists and turns and I certainly didn’t predict the ending. Five stars from me, I highly recommend this book.’ NetGalley reviewer, TESSA HARRIS read History at Oxford University and has been a journalist, writing for several national newspapers and magazines for more than thirty years.

The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office – a secret that could destroy the Führer’s reputation, and change the course of the war if exposed. . .

For discerning historical fiction readers looking for something unique, this story about dark secrets and the attempts to keep them hidden is one you’ll want to add to your reading list. The story within is as wonderful as the gorgeous cover and the writing makes it next level. A wonderfully written, lovely paced book. I read late into the night, couldn't wait to see what happened.’ NetGalley reviewer,
