If you like great plots, sound characters, and a touch of mystery, I recommend the historical fiction, The Night Drop: Resistance in the Marshlands by Ian D. Wright.

Twenty years after the war, Gilbert Fournier, a resistance member who is believed to have been responsible for townpeople’s deaths at the hands of the Germans, returns to St. Omer. His return raises questions at to who was the traitor and spy.

Jack and Sylvia contact the editor of a London magazine to propose an investigative article on the happenings in St. Omer and, hopefully, the discovery of the spy. Steve and Emily travel to the quaint French town and start gathering information from Jack and Sylvia. Before Gilbert can exonerate his name, he is murdered. Who silenced him and why?

The story is divided into two sections—during the war and twenty years afterward. Both stories are suspenseful, but the first more so. If you are looking for a high-paced thriller The Night Drop is not the book for you. If you enjoy the slower-paced small-town happenings, where the individuals are important, then this is a great read you.
