Summary

A powerful account of one woman’s struggle to balance her duty to her country and a love she knows will ultimately end in tragedy

1940. With the Germans about to enter Paris, Claire Bouchard flees France for England. Two years later she is recruited by the Special Operations Executive and sent back into occupied France to work alongside the Resistance. Working undercover as a teacher in Brittany, Claire accidentally befriends the wife of the German Commandant of Rennes, and the blossoming friendship is about to become a dangerous mission.

Knowing that thousands of lives depended on her actions, Claire begins a double life as a Gestapo Commandant’s mistress in order to retrieve vital information for the Allied Invasion of France, but ghosts from her past make the deception more painful than she could have imagined.

Part historical, part romance, and part thriller, Conspiracy of Lies takes us on a journey through occupied France, from the picturesque villages of rural Brittany to the glittering dinner parties of the Nazi Elite, in a story of courage, heartbreak, and secrecy.

That was good


Really enjoyed this action, adventure, thriller female SOE and resistance story set in WW2.

Great characters, clever storyline, and I pulled into the book from the opening chapter.

Thé softly accented French narration by Gabrielle de Cuir was the topping to Ms Gaucis book.

The bravery of the members of the French Resistance.

Narrator was good, but I did not like how she sometimes changed her voice when she spoke in a "male" French accent.... A little overdone, maybe?
I found it a bit hard to keep up with all the French names. Fortunately I could go back in the audio to verify certain names.
