Billy Boyle World War II

review 1: I think my friend friend Jessica Smith recommended this series. Reminded me of the TV series Foyle's War. Picked up this book because it was about WWII and Polish exiles in London. A mystery read with a historical setting: WWII and Britain and Poland (specifically, the Katyn massacre in Poland - 20,000 Polish Officers were murdered by the Soviets. But, blame was placed on the Nazis.) And, Billy Boyle, is the main character. He is an Irish American Boston cop, now a US Army detective. His uncle is General Eisenhower (really!). I would like to read more of the Billy Boyle series.
review 2: Library loan. Another good offering by James Benn. Billy Boyle in England. I only have one more to read in this series before I catch up with the author. Hate when... more that happens! But I am thoroughly enjoying the Billy Boyle mysteries. I am no expert but they seem to hold true to what was actually happening during WWII and each book shows Billy's changing attitudes and his growth as a person and as a detective. less
