Following an acclaimed debut outing, Harry Fox, an MI5 Watcher, now suspended, and his associate Stella Fry are reunited during Britain's darkest hour in this gripping espionage thriller.
April 1940, and Britain is in turmoil. Chamberlain's government is faltering, and a German invasion may be only weeks away.
A body, wearing the uniform of a Luftwaffe captain, is found in the grounds of Trent Park - a stately home and now a prison to house high level German POWs. Trent Park's true purpose, however, is intelligence, gathered covertly from prisoners by secret listeners.
The morning after the discovery of the body, one of the listeners goes missing, along with a gun from the firing range. Horrified that this could blow the highly confidential operation wide open, the missing man must be tracked down.
Cue Harry Fox, a former MI5 Watcher, now suspended. He is desperate to assist the war effort but he's over the conscription age. Then his former boss gets in touch with a job for him, to track down the missing man. But, he stipulates, it must also involve Harry's former associate, Stella Fry.
Stella returns home from work in the blackout to find a crowd outside her flat. She is told that a young woman in the building has had a fatal accident. The dead woman is called Stella Fry. Outraged, Stella suspects that this is the work of her erstwhile friend, Harry Fox. But why on earth would he go to such lengths to contact her?

Recenzii
[A] tangled, high stakes read
London before the blitz is superbly evoked, as is Paris before the German invasion but it is Miss Fry's indomitable character and ingenuity that shine through
Meticulously true to historical facts, sympathetic and humane, fallible characters and a splendidly Machiavellian plot, this a first-class thriller and a series growing in stature
After their riveting debut in Vienna, Fox and Fry are back in compelling fashion to navigate their way through a shadowy world of espionage and murder. Danger and secrecy lurk in every page of this classy novel
Suspenseful, romantic, atmospheric and clever . . . Thynne's storytelling is hugely enjoyable escapism
Deeply researched but lightly told, this book had me on the edge of my seat. Absolutely cracking stuff
As stylish, clever and gripping as ever, Thynne possesses the enviable ability both to enmesh the reader in her story and to deepen their knowledge of the historical context. Terrific
A brilliant and authentic espionage novel that explores the secret operations conducted at Trent Park during World War II. Jane Thynne has produced an adroitly executed and compelling novel that deserves a huge following
It's heaven to be reunited with Fox and Fry. Elegant, evocative and funny, this is Thynne's best yet
Compulsive and atmospheric, this novel is an enormous treat that combines a touch of John le Carré with the intelligent charm of Muriel Spark
I'm utterly addicted to Thynne's cinematic writing and taut plotting
Appointment in Paris builds on the triumph of Midnight in Vienna - establishing Fox and Fry as a gloriously fascinating pair of crusaders against the forces of darkness . . . Thynne's historical knowledge, sense of atmosphere, thrilling plotting and seductive characterisation combine to make Appointment in Paris a must read - easily as good as Robert Harris but with more soul
Evocative in its period detail and gripping in its narrative drive, this is a highly enjoyable novel
The action moves between the elegance of Vienna and the paranoia of London with consummate readability. Gripping and surprising
All the key characters are sharply drawn in this very enjoyable tale
A beautifully crafted historical thriller with charismatic main characters from a gifted writer. More Fox and Fry tales please
Masterful period detail and finely drawn characterisation make for an enthralling read in this tale of second world war espionage and deadly intrigue
