Thank you to author John Anthony Miller for this signed copy of When Darkness Comes. And thanks to Goodreads for hosting this opportunity through the First Reads program.
When Darkness Comes follows a few of the characters working in the French Resistance, and in or with the German army. The story centers around, again, the plight of the Jewish population in Paris, France this time, during WW II. Here, however, the plight of many of those 'sent away' is not preyed upon to elicit certain emotions, dark and sinister, but kept at a distance, focusing my attention on the 'here and now' of the characters assisting in the cause.
This book is a quick read, but very tight, suspenseful, and a joy to read. The story is very well written from front to back, holding my attention the whole way through. Just a couple minor editing issues were seen. A nice character set, the story stays in a relatively small area of Paris, keeping the action tightly bound, where they can easily rub elbows often.
I really liked this one, and highly recommend it to others. A good read.
