The Huntress

2019

by Kate Quinn

The Huntress, by Kate Quinn, is a historical fiction narrative that intricately weaves the paths of a battle-haunted English journalist and a fearless Russian female bomber pilot with an extensive objective: to track down a Nazi war criminal hiding in America.

Nina Markova, fueled by her dreams to fly, joins the legendary Night Witchesโ€”an all-female night bomber regiment during World War II. Her survival and courage are tested when a disastrous encounter with the Huntress, a lethal Nazi murderess, puts her life on the line. In a surprising twist of fate, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Meanwhile, Ian Graham, a journalist who has seen the horrors of war, is on a mission to seek justice. He partners with Nina to find the elusive Huntress, but to succeed in their quest, both must confront a shared secret that could derail everything.

In post-war Boston, young Jordan McBride's aspirations to become a photographer are met with a wave of skepticism when her father brings home a new German fiancรฉe. Suspicions about her stepmother's past set Jordan on a troubling path that might unbury secrets too dangerous to confront.

Kate Quinn offers a story of grit, suspense, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

Review by ivette
Super entertaining read. At the same time, it feels like another WW2 story with strong female characters.
Likeless so far. Lead the way
