   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) edwardsgt | Dec 9, 2023 |   ) LizzySiddal | Dec 20, 2021 | The sections set in France in 1944 were far more interesting than the modern day chapters, and I found the depiction of the Resistance fascinating. This would be worth a re-read. ( ) pgchuis | Mar 6, 2021 | ) MaureenJ | Dec 23, 2020 | The book has two narrative threads. One in the present as Picaut and her team investigate and one in the past as we follow the events in the 1940s Nazi-occupied Jura region. As the novel reaches its climax these two threads start to overlap and finally converge. The action components are well-handled and there are plenty of twists to the tale. The problem for me is that the historic storyline completely overwhelms the present-day murder investigation where very little seems to happen. In the end I found the modern day episodes intrusive. Perhaps a better approach would have been to use the modern day investigation to top and tail the book and present the historical tale as a single story.

A Treachery of Spies is an espionage thriller to rival the very best, a high stakes game of cat-and-mouse, played in the shadows, which will keep you guessing every step of the way. An elderly woman of striking beauty is found murdered in Orleans, France. Her identity has been cleverly erased but the method of her death is very specific- she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two. Tracking down her murderer leads police inspector In s Picaut back to 1940s France where the men and women of the Resistance were engaged in a desperate fight for survival against the Nazi invaders. To find answers in the present Picaut must discover what really happened in the past, untangling a web of treachery and intrigue that stretches back to the murder victim's youth- a time when unholy alliances were forged between occupiers and occupied, deals were done and promises broken. The past has been buried for decades, but, as Picaut discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on it staying that way - and who will kill to keep their secrets safe...
