When Katja Heinz secures a job as a typist at Doctor Viktor’s clinic, she doesn’t expect to be copying top secret medical records from a notebook. From the first words, the unfolding events of the story capture and carry you away with a fair strong wind, as if you are in an aspiring train rushing to the distant 1939. You are transported to Hamburg, Germany, completely forgetting who you are and where you are now. A wonderfully written, lovely paced book. I read late into the night, couldn't wait to see what happened.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So many twists and turns and I certainly didn’t predict the ending. Five stars from me, I highly recommend this book.’ NetGalley reviewer,

The Paris Notebook is a unique twist on the dime-a-dozen World War 2 novels that have become so ubiquitous the past decade. Don't get me wrong, many of them are marvelous books. But so many share the same general plot. This is a fresh idea, and superbly written.

A mix of danger, suspense, mystery, romance and heartbreaking choices make for a story I would definitely recommend. ’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I did enjoy so much this book, it is not my first book by Tessa Harris, I really enjoy her writing and her way to bring what you think will be easy to read but there is always an element that will keep you wanting to learn more. TESSA HARRIS read History at Oxford University and has been a journalist, writing for several national newspapers and magazines for more than thirty years. She is the author of nine published historical novels. Her debut, The Anatomist’s Apprentice, won the Romantic Times First Best Mystery Award 2012 in the US. She lectures in creative writing at Hawkwood College, Stroud and is married with two children. She lives in the Cotswolds. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel! The story flowed well, the characters and dilemmas believable and placed within historical events. I thought the wrap up to end a little anticlimactic but it still had a wonderful end! The notes in his possession declare Hitler unfit for office – a secret that could destroy the Führer’s reputation, and change the course of the war if exposed. . .

Moving along the different countries in Europe the book has book around book premise with a key dedication towards the actual historical events. The book explains a few parts while leaving some to be discovered by the reader by themselves. I was hooked from the prologue and devoured this book in two sittings. I enjoyed the fast pace which is not all that common in historical fiction books of ww2 era. The ending got a tad far fetched for me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend to readers that enjoy historical fiction and suspense. Solid 4.5 stars for me.

A wonderfully written, lovely paced book. I read late into the night, couldn't wait to see what happened.' NetGalley reviewer, Doctor ViKtor wants his medical notes and thoughts about the dictator published, he and Katja travel to Paris.

Katja and Doctor Viktor are being watched, at the clinic, and their movements around Hamburg and in Paris. Not only do they have to worry about German spies, Doctor Viktor has made enemies at the hospital and they would do anything to get rid of him. Katja is now in Paris where she met Daniel Kennan a man who had a tragic past, but at the same time, she feels very attracted to making her life so different. The top secret notebook in fact stated Hitler was unfit for office and not able to command an army to war and battle in WWII. Hitler's reputation could be compromised if the top secret notebook was discovered by the wrong side, completely altering the future of war and humankind itself.
