4.0 out of 5 stars
if only....,
By princehal "princehal" (Vienna Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices on the Wind (Paperback)
I am giving this 4 stars because of the first rate story. It should have been 5 stars. If only Ms. Anthony had had a better editor! The story doesn't really become involving until the last third of the book, and the last few chapters are positively gripping. Unfortunately the book starts out slowly and then comes to several abrupt stops, including when Kate, the heroine visits her too-perfect family, and later when it takes way too long to get things going, such as in her seemingly endless training. In the hands of a good, tough editor all this uninteresting stuff could have been pared down and made tight and absorbing. It could have been a major, major bestseller. So many books let you down at the end; the end result doesn't live up to the build-up. But this is different. Everything makes sense at the end and it is extremely interesting. It's a shame most people won't read it because the beginning is so boring.

Fly Away to Danger.,
By Betty Burks "Betty Burks" (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Voices on the Wind (Paperback)
I became acquainted with Evelyn Anthony's mystery writing some years ago when 'The Doll's House' was new. For some reason, I had the idea it might be like Ibsen's "A Doll's House" play. Not so, completely different. Ms. Anthony is a British writer and her earlier works were about the royalty of times past. This one is about love and betrayal. And a woman's vengeance.
A war crime concerning Kate's wartime lover and the trial of the Nazi SS lieutenant who had killed him. She is lured back to France and gets ensnared in a net of tangled motives and displaced loyalties. This is fiction; that's so, but this kind of thing continues to happen to the least of us. My "voices on the wind" came from the airwaves, and the treachery of three of the top guys of a particular network of spies. To them, nothing is sancrosant. It's all or none at all. You like me, you take the whole package and don't create waves. She has been a most prolific writer of this type; her 'Sleeping With the Enemy' was made into a movie. With the Nazi symbol on the cover, some Americans would be turned away automatically. Not me, I bought the VHS of "Hanged on a Twisted Cross" and that is one of my earliest reviews. It was about a saint who was executed by the Nazis a few days before the end of WWII. Anthony has also written the popular 'The Company of Saints' like Saint Karl, Saint Charles, and Saint Winston. They are certainly no saints, not even close.
