The Enemy at Home (by Kevin O’Brien)

This was a little different historical fiction book than I typically read. Yes, it was focused during WWII, but it was also a thriller … something Kevin O’Brien does so well. This one also takes place in the US so you are introduced to the way women stepped in at the Boeing plant to work while the men are out fighting for our freedom. It was interesting to see the way the men who were still stateside and working at the plant treated the women. They were demeaned and their work not valued. Despite the fact that they are pretty much single parents … working a full-time job, raising children, taking care of everything related to the home, etc. Then we factor in the murder mystery and the intrigue is on. The relationships that develop between the characters are entertaining. And Nora, the main character, impressed me. She would not hide away and wait to see how things played out. She was willing to take a stand and try to figure out who was committing these crimes … even if it is her own son. Great twists and turns and this book will have you flipping through the pages quickly.
