A review by jefecarpenter
Red Gold by Alan Furst

3.0

This is a continuation of The World at Night, (Night Soldiers #4) although the publisher doesn't mention that anywhere, which is a bit confounding because it only works if you have the momentum of that opening act to carry you through the long, almost tedious, slog in this book that drives home the point about the endless struggle, the unrelenting sacrifices of existence in Occupied France. It's still addictive, what Furst has conveyed, so much so that I feel let down at the ending to see that it just dribbles off without a third book to lift you to a finale.
