Under Occupation - Alan Furst

Under Occupation - Alan Furst

She read; he gave it up

Publication date:  Nov. 26, 2019


I have enjoyed some of Furst’s prior novels.  Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for this one.

The writing is very simplistic, with not much depth to the characters, plot, setting, or action.  The Resistance fighters featured perform quite a few jobs for the cause, but Furst just skims over them.  He notes what they were and that the were carried out, but we get no details, no drama, no action.  I also thought the story could have been written without all the salaciousness and gratuitous sex spread throughout it.
