Just finished “The Spies of Warsaw” the first book I’ve ever read written by Alan Furst. The book is set in Poland in 1937. It concerns French Spies trying to find information about German armaments and plans for the invasion of France.

I don’t generally like historical fiction like this. I mean we know that the Germans kicked the French’s butt early on. This book though held my interest. It has a lot of plot turns, bad guys who get done in, romance, intrigue and not very many plot holes.

I give this ***1/2. I’ll be looking for other books by Mr. Furst.
