Defending Britta Stein by Ronald H. Balson

Ninety-two-year-old Britta Stein was charged with spray painting the restaurant of Ole Henryks once he was slated to be honored as a hero during WWII.

Britta said he was not a hero...he was a Nazi collaborator.

Britta needs an attorney, and Catherine Lockhart and Liam Taggert team up to defend her.

DEFENDING BRITTA STEIN takes the reader to Denmark during the war with detailed information of the situation the citizens were under during the Nazi occupation. 

Very interesting to learn how Denmark dealt with this part of history.

The book goes back and forth in time as Britta tells the story of her life during the occupation and back to today as she prepares for her trial with Catherine, Liam, and her granddaughter, Emma.  

Britta also wants her story told so her granddaughter finally knows her family history which has been kept from Emma.

Britta is definitely a feisty, enjoyable character.  Between her and Mr. Balson's impeccable research, DEFENDING BRITTA STEIN is another winner for him.

Any fan of Mr. Balson will not want to miss his newest.

The way he has Britta telling her story, and how he ties the present-day situation into the past makes the book difficult to put down.

His talent definitely shines through in DEFENDING BRITTA STEIN.  5/5

This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
