Overall thoughts:
I am a pet lover, as I have mentioned before.  I have three dogs so I thought I would really like this book, that is why I chose to review it. On the whole I found the book to be ok. I liked the fact that Darcy narrated some of the story, but I think as with Tammy that is part of the issue with this book as a whole, she narrated some. Going back and fourth between the dog and human narration was ok at first, but then got boring, at least for me. I would have rather heard the whole story from one point of view rather than both at the same time. Another issue with this story is that I don't know why for some reason I didn't connect with Darcy so I lost interest in the story.


So would I recommend this book?
As I said above it was ok. It is a true story (at least the human part anyway). I normally like these kinds of books but in truth I can't recommend it. I don't think I got anything from reading it. If my readers think they would enjoy it. Then go for it, but the book was for me. I was disappointed.

I would like to thank iRead Book Tours for letting me read and review this book.

The Ghost Blog tour-Review & Giveaway



Book Details:

Book Title: The Ghost by Henry Kellerman
Category: Adult Fiction, 266 pages
Genre: Mystery/ Thriller, Historical Fiction
Publisher: Barricade Books
Release date: August 7, 2018
Tour dates: Nov 26 to Dec 14, 2018
Content Rating: PG-13

Book Description:

Assassinations, a love story, a kidnapping, and many twists and turns characterizes this riveting novel of historical fiction, circa 1958, thirteen years post World War II.

Events are uncovered where The Ghost, a powerful Vatican Bishop, is sending assassins to retrieve a secret tailpiece – a hidden extension of the 1942 Wannsee Conference Papers that underpinned the Holocaust against Jews. Only two copies of this tailpiece remain where names of thousands of high level Nazis such as Eichmann and Mengele are listed along with their future destinations – should Germany lose the war.

At the same time, New York City detectives working with British M16 secret service, and Israeli Mossad agents, get Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and his group, (including an Israeli sanctioned killer) involved in order to find and send the crucial coded microfilm to England’s renowned decryption center. Now, in 1958, these Jewish Nazi hunters will not forgive and not forget.

This story is newsworthy testimony regarding the villains who are actual historical figures and are named. Fitting it all together (as in the screenplay based on the story titled: “We Will Find You,”) is the avenging drama of the novel.

Overall Thoughts:
 
Wow what a book! Im finding myself having trouble reviewing this book because I liked it but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I feel like I may just bust out the whole plot at any minute so Im just going to apporch this review another way.
 
 The book was well written and interesting. I love history and I have a specialization in the Holocaust from college so this book was very much of interest to me. You can tell the book was well researched just by its details. It is also interesting to read a post WWII novel because not many historical fictions are from that time.
 
Who would like this book: history buffs, people who are interested in this time period, people who love/like action novels (normally I don't but you always find exceptions).
 
Final verdict: I would recommend this book. It is very good and well worth the read!
