Rich in historical detail, this was a story filled with adventure and intrigue.
Many thanks to Black Rose Writing and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This is a new to me author and I can’t wait to continue to read what she writes. This story was spellbinding and very intriguing. I can’t wait to read the next story of this series.


I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest and voluntary review.

I am reviewing a copy of Crosswind through Black Rose Writing and Netgalley:


Katrin Nissen is in a desperate search for a missing MI6 colleague and the microfilm he possesses leads. She finds herself deep into the maelstrom of Nazi-controlled Berlin. Impulsive and reckless, Dieter Weiss may have pushed his luck too far and taken one chance too many. Against all odds, Katrin has just one week to find him.




Katrin posses as a research scientist sympathetic to the Nazis, Katrin attends a conference organized by Heinrich Himmler. The conference will showcase the Nazis' dark plans to redesign nature and will become the birthing ground of the Holocaust a cost far greater than Katrin is willing to accept.


Kristine Trautmann, Weiss's sister is a staff photographer for Himmler, is also at the conference. While Kristine may provide the key to Dieter's whereabouts, she has her own secrets, and should Himmler discover the truth, it will cost her life.


In a backdrop of a political agenda so bizarre it seems impossible, Katrin discovers that the Nazis aren't the only ones to fear. A serial killer stalks the university halls. Katrin discovers that the Nazis aren't the only ones to fear. A serial killer stalks the university halls.


I give Crosswind five out of five stars!
