Goodnight from Paris

About This Audiobook

Jane Healey delivers a razor-sharp historical thriller that reimagines a forgotten Hollywood legend as an unsung hero of the French Resistance. This isn’t another dusty costume drama—it’s a propulsive tale of deception, where an American actress playing the role of her life on-screen must also outwit the Gestapo in the shadows of occupied Paris. Healey’s meticulous research shines through in the novel’s lush period detail, from the creak of gas lamps to the coded whispers in Montmartre cafés, but the real pull lies in her protagonist’s moral tightrope walk: a woman who must charm Nazis in public while dismantling their regime in private. The tension crackles with every misplaced kiss and every whispered warning, making *Goodnight from Paris* a standout in a crowded genre of WWII fiction. Kristina Klebe’s narration is the secret weapon here—a velvety, rhythmically precise performance that oscillates between sultry Hollywood glamour and brittle wartime fear, effortlessly embodying a woman who’s equal parts Mata Hari and Joan Crawford.
