Book Review: "The Fifth Column" By Andrew Gross

It's a time of great turmoil as Europe is on the brink of war and Nazi supporters are growing by the numbers.

So much so they enter the bar in which Charlie works and that begins the change of his life.


Two years pass and now it's time to put up or shut up and join the war.


However, Charlie alongside his estranged wife and 6yo daughter Emma are simply trying to survive and move forward not wishing for any more toxicity in their lives.


Meanwhile, another couple take a liking in Emma and it has Charlie a bit unnerved.


As the story progresses we learn not everyone has sinister motives and wish to do others harm.


But why?


This story played out beautifully in exquisite detail. The chapters were short, nicely written,with a quick light and fluffy feel which for avid and fast readers was truly appreciated. Reminded me of the James Patterson novels in which you can breeze right through rather nicely.


A fab read that was packed with action, suspense, mystery, and intrigue.
