I have always been a fan of historical fiction, especially when the book gives me a glimpse of people and events that are not necessarily in the history books. Tricia Goyer has accomplished that in this fast paced suspenseful page turner. Reading about the lives of USO entertainers in Germany immediately after WWII was a unique and fascinating experience. The background details about Hitler and his obsession with Wagner&#8217;s music as well as the history of the Festspielhaus were icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>The developing romance between Betty and Frank progressed naturally as they worked together to find answers to a suspicious death. Several plot twists and surprises kept me involved in the story and the ending was satisfying. I would recommend <em><strong>Songbird Under a German Moon<\/strong><\/em> to anyone who enjoys a good historical romance with some suspense as an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"divider2\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/divider21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"399\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/strong><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Songbird.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4461\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"Songbird Under a German Moon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Songbird.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Songbird.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Songbird-150x237.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/><\/a>About Songbird Under a German Moon:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The year is  1945. The war is over and 21-year-old Betty Lake has been invited to  Europe to sing in a USO tour for American soldiers who now occupy  Hitler&#8217;s Germany. The first nights performance is a hit. Betty becomes  enthralled with the applause, the former Nazi-held mansion they\u2019re  housed in and the attention of Frank Witt, the US Army Signal Corp  Photographer. Yet the next night this songbird is ready to fly the coop  when Betty\u2019s dear friend, Kat, turns up missing.<\/p>\n<p>Betty soon realizes Franks photographs could be the key to finding  Kat. Betty and Frank team up against post-war Nazi influences and the  two lovebirds\u2019 hearts may find the answers&#8230;in each other.<\/p>\n<p>But will they have a chance for their romance to sing? The truth will  be revealed under a German moon.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/TGoyer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3166\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" title=\"TGoyer\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/TGoyer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"142\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/TGoyer.jpg 142w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/TGoyer-100x150.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 142px) 100vw, 142px\" \/><\/a>About Tricia:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tricia Goyer is the author of  twenty-four books including <em>From Dust and Ashes<\/em>, <em>My Life  UnScripted<\/em>, and the children&#8217;s book, <em>10 Minutes to Showtime<\/em>.
