Spy Island by Sophie Schiller

I would like to thank Sophie Schiller for sending me this book. For the first time, I have been left speechless. Not because I don't know what to say. But because the writing is so profound.

This book is full of intrique and suspense. For anyone who loves history, trust me this is the book for you. It is a definite page turner.

The year is 1916. With forces beyond her control Abigail Maduro heads to the West Indies. Before she leaves her caretaker tells her to take heed of German spies. "You never know my dear. With the world at war your closest friend can be your worst enemy."

As she makes the island of St. Thomas her home, Abby discovers a man in need of help. She can't pin point his accent. It sounds very much like German. After gaining her trust does he give her his name, Erich Seibold. St. Thomas is a small village. Within an hour your next door neighbor can know your business. Abby must tread carefully as she gives this German soldier asylum.

Although people have seen her in town with this strange man. Her aunt is worried about her niece's reputation. Her aunt has a right to worry. Abby and Erich are being followed by someone in the shadows. It only takes a moment and everything may fall to pieces. Then it's time to run.
