The Swiss Courier by Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey



I have a confession to make. I normally avoid historical fiction like a passion. Usually, the authors put so many historical details in the books that it detracts from the story line and plot. I am so glad I checked out this book!

It is a gripping story about WWII with fascinating disclosures and background information that most people don’t know about. The book is a fast-paced thriller reminiscent of the highly popular 24 television series with plot twists and pulsating action and the plot KEPT ME RIVETED.

The authors have the right combination of history and intrique. It was fascinating to learn more about Switzerland’s role in WWII, the newly formed American Office of Strategic Services in that country which was the forerunner to the CIA. If only history teachers would weave tales like this, more students would become history lovers.

You will LOVE the "sequel" to this book... Chasing Mona Lisa. I enjoyed The Swiss Courier, but the second is SO much better!!
