After Tarawa: A Wartime Thriller from New Zealand
A photograph taken in the middle of a battle and a letter handed to Harry Wilhelm by a dying Marine complicate the lives of Kate and Harry.
In late 1943, Harry Wilhelm is sent from New Zealand to fight with the US Marine Corps during the attack on Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands. When a war photographer snaps a photograph of him bringing in a body from the surf, his image is seen around the world, with unintended consequences.
Back in New Zealand, Kate Hardy is spooked by a sighting of an old enemy. She flees back to her grandmother's farm, only to run into her old boyfriend, Brian, returned from Crete and ready to reconnect--with conditions.
After Tarawa, the third book in The Kate Hardy Wartime Adventures, brings the story of Kate and Harry to a conclusion, with murders, betrayals, old enemies, new enemies, and death by elevator shaft.

I loved getting to know the characters and am wishing I’d read the others in the series first. Getting to know a bit about WWII in the South Pacific part of the world was wonderful (beyond the obvious mantel of war. I’ll have to check into future books by this author.
