REMEMBERING DRESDEN, by Dan Walsh

When Jack Turner rents a lakeside cabin near Culpepper University to work on his doctoral dissertation, he expects to escape all distractions and focus on his goal. But like so many of us (me included), he begins to seek ways to avoid what he's supposed to be doing. When he decides to look through a bookcase in the living room, he makes a surprising find. Eventually his curiosity leads him to uncover further material, and now his surprise turns to shock.

Dissertation all but forgotten, Jack and his girlfriend, Rachel Cook, start on a dangerous course to learn how Jack's discoveries might relate to current-day citizens of the Culpepper area. As the WWII bombing of Dresden weaves its way into the fabric of the documents Jack discovers, he and Rachel have to decide between their personal safety and pursuing the links they've unearthed. Which choice is the right thing to do?

Dan Walsh has created another page-turning mystery-suspense to follow When Night Comes, though it's not necessary to have read the first book to love this one. I thoroughly enjoyed Remembering Dresden. The story caught me on the first page and didn't let go until the harrowing climax.

I give Remembering Dresden two thumbs up and recommend it highly.  My thanks to the author for providing my review copy.

IN PERFECT TIME, by Sarah Sundin


    Lt. Kay Jobson is a flight nurse in the Army Air Force. She's beautiful, competent, and a tireless flirt. When C-47 pilot Lt. Roger Cooper crosses her path, she decides to make him another conquest. The only problem is, Roger wants nothing to do with her. His life plan is to be a drummer with a Big Band when WWII is over.
    As the two of them work together during flights between Italy and France, they each struggle to overcome the attraction that draws them to one another. Sarah Sundin is a master at writing believable wartime action scenes, and she outdoes herself with In Perfect Time. If you love heart-gripping historical fiction, don't miss this one!
    This novel is the final book in the Wings of the Nightingale series, although it's not necessary to have read the first two books in order to enjoy In Perfect Time. However, if you haven't already read With Every Letter and On Distant Shores, I highly recommend them as well.

    My thanks to the author and Revell for providing my review copy.
