When it comes to the French Resistance of WWII, the names Blanche and Claude Auzello aren’t all that well-known. Thankfully, Melanie Benjamin has just written a biographical, historical fiction novel about them, and especially about Blanche, who during the Nazi occupation of Paris, was known as the “Mistress of the Ritz” and she was the wife of the hotel’s manager, Claude. You can find my review of this amazing book on my blog here (Thanks for the free book, @PRHGlobal/@prhinternational.) https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/05/24/puttin-on-the-resistance/

Betrayal!
With the right people it can be a great laugh
A quick game of bluff
With Resistance you can expect laughter - genuine, nervous, awkward, or all of the above. It's a relatively simple game to pick up and can be played within half an hour. It's all about trying to bluff and deceive your way to win the game.
You are either a traitor or part of the resistance who go away on small missions, voting for whether the mission fails or succeeds. Only traitors can cause a mission to fail and when it's discovered then that's where the deception comes in.
Who's betrayed the team? There's only one way to find out!
If you fail enough missions without capturing the traitors then they win, but if you manage to find them then the resistance wins. Simple.

This was a fairly solid true crime read. It was an interesting read, and the murders were horrible. Though, I couldn't make heads or tails of the real motive of the crimes. Money? Killing Nazis? Protecting the French Resistance? The author offers what he thought went down, but I wasn't really content.
