I thought I had read about every possible angle of World War II in the dozens of titles I’ve read in the past few years, but this was a new one for me. Camille Aubrey drew me right into this story about the first attempt to hold the famed Cannes Film Festival in 1939–which was interrupted by Germany’s invasion of Poland.

This book had it all—spy intrigue, romance, a murder mystery, and lots of juicy Hollywood gossip which kept me Googling far into the night. I had a good time with this one!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ( )
