Book Review: The Phantom Patrol

In The Phantom Patrol, Billy Boyle is back with his intriguing sidekick, Kaz, hunting for a gang of art thieves in Paris right before the start of the Battle of the Bulge. Benn brings back all the great historical detail, combined with a complex mystery set amid tense battle scenes. Actor David Niven plays a role and introduces some of the new technology used during WWII. I love Benn’s use of historical details to bring this time period to life and to heighten the tension in his mysteries. This is another great read with likable characters, lots of action, and details about the complicated and abhorrent crimes committed during wartime. Benn hits at the heart of what it means to be human when faced with the moral dilemmas of world conflict. I look forward to reading the next adventure!
