The Kaiapoi book group reviewed: Mother Daughter Traitor Spy by Susan Elia MacNeal and Dead Certainty by Glenis Wilson
Mother Daughter Traitor Spy by Susan Elia MacNeal
Set in the USA in 1941. The story of 2nd generation Germans who are citizens of the USA and how they infiltrate the German/Nazi community in Los Angeles. This story has the election of Franklin Roosevelt as 3rd term president, & the invasion of Pearl Harbour in Hawaii by the Japanese as topic. It is similar to President Trump when Joe Biden is elected and the group support for a riot.
Rating out of five: 3
Dead Certainty by Glenis Wilson
In Dick Francis style. I enjoyed this book about the horse racing in Britain. Was please to find another author writing about this. Harry Radcliffe an injured jump jockey and racing columnist is commissioned to write the autobiography of a retiring trainer and uncovers secrets in his own family and that of the trainer. Someone is trying to stop his revelations.
