The German Girl

The Monika Ritter Series, Book 1

By: Eoin Dempsey

Narrated by: Shannon Smith

Gripping and unputdownable World War 2 fiction

Sometimes, the deadliest enemy lies within. It is 1942, and war is raging in Europe. Monika Ritter is in New York with her husband, Michael. Haunted by memories of her childhood in Germany and her father’s death at the hands of the Nazis, she longs to do her bit against Hitler’s rampaging armies. When Michael joins the new Army Air Force as a bomber pilot, Monika takes advantage of an invitation she receives to join the OSS, a fledgling group of spies with the mission to turn the war by gathering the most vital asset of all—information.

As Michael begins to fly missions in B-24 bombers over Europe, Monika attends a top-secret training camp in the Maryland forest. After graduating, she is sent on a mission to infiltrate a clandestine ring of Nazi saboteurs dispatched from Germany to attack the American war machine on home soil. Soon, she will uncover a plot that could shift the entire momentum of the war in the Nazis’ favor. Racing against time and a dangerous adversary, Monika will have to foil a deadly plan that could change the face of the war forever.

THE GERMAN GIRL is the first novel in a new series by the #1 Amazon bestselling author of WHITE ROSE, BLACK FOREST, and THE MAUREEN RITTER SERIES. Download it and discover Eoin Dempsey’s books today.

Great from start to finish!

Very well-narrated by Shannon Smith. The author featured great characters and really engaged them in true events. This story was compelling historical fiction!

Good, engaging stoyline.

The narration does not do justice to the story. Every single descriptive/natrative sentence has the exact same gloomy cadence, with pitch dropping at the end of the sentence. Rendition of direct speech segments of evil characters is caricaturized to the point of parody. Excruciating listening. I listen to audiobook daily and have never left a bad narrator review, so I don't say this lightly.
