Embers in the London Sky By: Sarah Sundin Genre: Fiction, Historical, Romance Publisher: Revell Publication Year: 2024 Series: Stand Alone My Rating: 5 of 5 stars Synopsis:
To find her child, she’ll stop at nothing. To report the truth will take him deep into the flames. As she flees the German army invading the Netherlands in 1940, Aleida van der Zee Martens escapes to London to wait out the occupation. Separated from her three-year-old son, Theo, in the process, the young widow desperately searches for her little boy even as she works for an agency responsible for evacuating children to the countryside. When German bombs set London ablaze, BBC radio correspondent Hugh Collingwood reports on the Blitz, eager to boost morale while walking the fine line between truth and censorship. But the Germans are not the only ones Londoners have to fear as a series of murders flame up amid the ashes. The deaths hit close to home for Hugh, and Aleida needs his help to locate her missing son. As they work together, they grow closer and closer, both to each other and the answers they seek. But with bombs falling and continued killings, they may be running out of time. ~Taken from Sarah's site: https://www.sarahsundin.com/books/embers-in-the-london-sky/ My Thoughts: Sarah Sundin's speciality is World War 2 and this honed focus shines through in this well researched novel. I love reading Sudin’s novels. This story had two mysteries that unfold within the pages. The first is Aleida searching for her missing son and the second is a rash of homicides in Hugh and Aleida’s circle of friends. This was a well written, engaging novel about two people trying to survive the Blitz in London, build a relationship and grow in their trust of God. Recommend? Yes, this has a sweet romance, murder mystery and the London Blitz. Sundin doesn't disappoint with her newest World War 2 story.
