5.0 out of 5 starsa 10 star special
By Betty K. Hart on November 20, 2003
Format: Hardcover
WoW! I love good mysteries. Helen MacInnes has always been one of my favorites. Carolyn Hougan matches her in talent, plotting, and well crafted prose. My husband and I both found the characters wonderful, and the history instructional as well as entertaining. Since my husband is a history buff of both WWI and WWII, he especially enjoyed and learned from the plotting set in Shanghai.

5.0 out of 5 starshistory+espionage+interesting characters
By A Customer on November 27, 1998
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I'll make this short, but I wanted to let everyone know that this is a great book. I couldn't put it down and I loved how the characters came to life. The espionage part doesn't weigh the book down and the history(Russia and Shangai) makes it all the more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 starsOne super-sexy spy thriller
By Kate S. Palmer on January 17, 1999
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I picked this book up because it is a spy thriller--a genre which I enjoy. It does not disappoint in that area (if you're not picky about the Cold War being over, and all...).
A lovely surprise is the heightening tension produced by how much the reader comes to care about what happens (or might happen) to these wonderful characters!
Before boy even meets girl, you want them to fall in love--as much for their problems as their perfections. They need each other.
A nicely complicated mystery, a terrifying chase for survival, and a really, really, REALLY sexy love story!

4.0 out of 5 starsAnd I thought a white Russian was a drink
By J. P. Connelly on January 25, 2008
Format: Paperback
Once again a great FelonyandMayhem mystery. A truly great mystery,like any book is well written and not only provides enjoyment but some education too. Here a family trunk full of heirlooms is filled in Shanghai in the 1930's and turns up in Maine in the 1980's in between you get a lesson on the last Czar,the murder of him and his family, the White and Red Russians,Faberge eggs and the Casablanca of China,Shanghai. This all gets weaved into a story involving Russian moles in the CIA and the race to protect world changing secrets that the family trunk could reveal.
A fast paced story with characters who both get destroyed and redeemed.
Anyone who enjoys fast paced,well written espionage stories will truly appreciate The Romeo Flag

5.0 out of 5 starsRich, complex espionage thriller
By Blue in Washington on June 28, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Felony and Mayhem Mysteries has republished another big winner in "The Romeo Flag." Written just before the end of the Cold War, it nevertheless has a dazzling story line and characters that hold up well nearly 20 years later.

The plot revolves around events that took place in Shanghai in the late 1930s as the Japanese were closing in on the city and the White Russian population of the time nervously awaited its fate. A Russian doctor sends a trunk full of memorabilia and art treasures to his infant granddaughter in the United States. Forty years later, it arrives to dramatically change her life and those of dozens of others. Among those others are the hero of the piece, Neil Walker, an ex-CIA operative who is struggling to build a new life after the death of his wife and injurying of his son. Two Soviet spies--both highly placed in the U.S. government--are also threatened by the arrival of the trunk and its contents. Their reactions to the threat set off a series of events that gives the story a major action liftoff. The byplay moves back and forth from the 30s and 40s to the 1980s and involves WWII spying as well as the Cold War dueling between the KGB and CIA.

Beyond a terrific story line, "The Romeo Flag" has wonderful characters whose interactions give the book highly credible complexity and interest. Author Carolyn Hougan has written an intelligent thriller which, luckily, is getting a second viewing thanks to the perceptive editors and publishers at Felony and Mayhem Mysteries.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe Romeo Flag - An Excellent Read
By Bill on December 26, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Very well written and full of good characters I think this is one of the better books I've read in the past year. Hougan uses the language extremely well and I found myself enjoying the book as much for the way it was written as for the plot and the characters.

5.0 out of 5 starsTimeless
By Raevyn77 on July 16, 2015
Format: Paperback
Ok, despite the eras that this takes place (the Tsar, cold war, 1930's Shanghai, 1980's Maine, Virginia and Washington DC), I can always pick this book up and read it anew. I bought this around 1989-1990 and have held onto it since. Every three to five years I come across it and read it again. I manage to forget all the exact details of the characters so re-reading it is still like the first time.

The characters are well-drawn out. The story moves along at a reasonable pace. I love history involved and am glad that Ms. Hougan took the time to explain the political climate and social problems affecting the times she chose to include in her book. She does this in an entertaining way so as not to lose the reader in the details or weigh them down with unnecessary facts.

I'm not the best at describing a plot, but I can say that this book has stood the test of time with me. It's probably one of the few that make the list to go with me if I was stranded on an island. I've had the paperback copy all these years and it's become rather yellowed and tattered so I'm thinking about upgrading to the hardcover for longevity.
