World War II thriller in which two young girls, one a Resistance spy and the other a transport pilot, become unlikely best friends.

‘It’s like being in love, discovering your best friend.’

A British spy plane crashes in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot and passenger are best friends. But just one of the girls has a chance at survival. Arrested by the Gestapo, 'Verity' is given a choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly execution. They’ll get the truth out of her. Only, it won’t be what they expect.

A visceral story of danger, resolve and survival, Code Name Verity shows just how far true friends will go to save each other. This updated edition features a brand-new short story, a retrospective from the author, a Q&A and more.

Critic reviews

"An incredibly assured debut novel, full of convincing detail, heart-stopping emotion and tension." (The Bookseller)

I enjoy the genre of story, but I was highly disappointed in this book. It started out on a high note and it quickly became less than worthy. I have read and listen to many books about the women involved in World War II and I felt that this was very trite

I don't typically review books. In fact, this is my first. There is no way to capture how wonderful this book and narration is. Absolutely worth the read!

First Review!

I couldn't stop listening to this book. Very few books make me cry but it was so well written and narrated that I kept finding excuses to drive in my car so I could listen to it.

Outstanding

I stuck it out, but really never shed a tear for any other characters and considering the Nazi circumstances you would think…

It was okay

It started off okay, but both the author and narrator seemed to struggle to finish the story. I was recommended this book by a librarian on tiktok who enjoyed the "twist". So I anticipated a fun surprise. Sadly, there really wasn't one. The author seemed to struggle wrapping up the book, so it meandered to the point I no longer cared. The narrator compounded problems by not being gifted with different and appropriate voices for various characters. All in all, I didn't care enough to look for other books in this series. Your mileage may vary. Cheers!

Mediocre story and narrator.
