The Last Agent in Paris – Book Blog Tour

As the bombs rained down on Paris, my family fled before the Nazis could take us. I never thought I’d see my beloved home again. But I’ve come back to fight for the people I love. And now, I’m the last agent standing. The freedom of the world rests on my shoulders.

Paris, 1940. As Nazi soldiers march down the Champs Elysees, Noor’s heart is shattered. Her family is forced to flee their home to the safety of England, and as Noor watches the French coast disappear in the distance, she vows to do everything she can to stop Germany from devouring her beloved country.

Training as a wireless operative in England, Noor’s perfect French makes her the ideal candidate for undercover work in her beloved Paris, and she is soon assigned to an illustrious spy network led by a mysterious man named Prosper.

Day after day, Noor walks the treacherous streets of Paris looking for safe places to broadcast messages to London. But Nazi officers lurk around every corner, and Noor’s heart thunders in her chest as she evades detection, tightly clutching the briefcase containing her radio equipment. She knows it would take just one stop and search for her life to be over.

With each passing day her mission becomes more lethal as, one by one, her fellow agents are captured. Someone is betraying them, but who? And when Noor becomes the last agent in the network, can she keep the links with England alive, to help win the war?

An utterly gripping and emotional World War 2 novel inspired by the incredible true story of Noor Inayat Khan, the first female radio operator sent by SOE into Nazi-occupied France. Fans of Suzanne Goldring, Ellie Midwood and Siobhan Curran will be swept away.

The Last Agent in Paris is about a brave and courageous woman named Noor Khan who is working as an undercover for British in France. The whole story is a historical account of this young brave woman who sacrificed her own life to serve her country.

The story is well researched and well written. And it is also quiet engaging as well. Noor is half-Indian half American and her heritage makes it an advantage to work as an undercover. The middle part of the story is gripping and interesting, nearly putting you on the edge when Noor was finally caught by the Nazis and Gestapo and questioned by a man named Voigt. France is Noor’s home and the thought of her own country being ruined by the Nazis was too much for Noor. One rare thing about this is in most WWII historical fiction, the story starts two years prior to WWII but in this case, the story starts somewhere in 1914 when Noor was born, detailing her childhood in France, her courtships, her father’s untimely death and how she managed to help her mother and sister escape to England.

Overall, this book is an emotional roller coaster ride–heartbreaking moments and the ending of the book was actually sad. Noor Khan is an inspiration to many women out there and a brave and courageous one in fact. Worth five stars.
