A Truth to Lie For: Elena Standish Series, Book 4
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
A lethal new weapon endangers all of Europe—unless Elena Standish can rescue an ingenious scientist from Hitler's clutches—in this action-packed mystery by bestselling author Anne Perry. It is summer 1934, and Hitler is teetering on the edge of supreme power. Any small step forward could vault him toward European domination. When Britain's MI6 gets word that a German scientist has made a breakthrough in germ warfare, they send Elena Standish on a dangerous mission to get him out of Germany before he's forced to share his knowledge and its devastating power with Hitler's elite. But the British soon learn that it's more than just time that Elena is working against. The new head of Germany's germ warfare division is an old enemy of Elena's grandfather Lucas, the former head of MI6. And he's bent on using any means to avenge his defeat at Lucas's hands twenty years before. What starts as an effort to save Europe from the devastation of disease soon becomes an intensely personal fight. With Elena's every decision challenged, this compelling mystery takes a searing look at what it means to do what's right in a world rife with so much evil.

July 25, 2022
Set in 1934, bestseller Perry’s underwhelming fourth novel featuring photographer turned spy Elena Standish (after 2021’s A Darker Reality) finds Elena tapped by Peter Howard, her boss at MI6, for a vital mission. Howard plans to smuggle two German biochemists involved in creating a deadly bioweapon and its antidote out of Germany and bring them to England. Elena is to travel to Berlin to exfiltrate one of them. Though the Germans are aware that the biochemists’ research is known to MI6, illogically they don’t expect an effort by the Brits to either extract or kill them. Sections focused on the vicissitudes of Elena’s assignment alternate with the actions of a morally conflicted Nazi, a clichéd secondary character with whom the reader spends too much time. Having the potential use of an atomic bomb briefly discussed in 1934 by Elena and Howard is also a jarring anachronism, given that nuclear fission had not yet been discovered. The combination of thin characters, plot contrivances, and not sweating the details makes for a forgettable outing. Perry is capable of better. Agent: Donald Maass, Donald Maass Literary.
