Overview: Born in Venezuela and raised in London, the British author Jane Thynne has been writing for a long time now, with her unique brand of historical fiction that’s firmly rooted in reality due to her attention to detail and accuracy, whilst she is also able to combine mystery and romance together in order to create a unique and engaging set of novels that keep her readers hooked on the edge-of-their-seats.
Known for her wit and humor as well, she has been able to inject a sense of warmth into her stories too, something which sets her characters up as easy to relate to as they resonate with the reader, coming to life off the page. Many of her leading protagonists have also gone on to become highly regarded, with many of her readers continually returning for more time-and-time again, setting up a strong sense of familiarity between them and the reader. A great example of this can be found in the Clara Vine series of novels, which have been running for quite some time now, as they tell the story of their leading protagonist and her various exploits throughout the years, as she fills her stories with suspense and intrigue all set to keep the reader guessing right until the very end.
Set within the world of the intelligence services, it manages to capture this shadowy world perfectly, as it also understands the codes and conventions of the spy novel, effectively turning them on their head. With it being a period based set of novels as well, it manages to draw out a sense of the atmosphere of the time too, creating an ambiance and tone that really manages to draw the reader into the world of Clara Vine.
Running for over five novels so far and counting, they tell the story of the British actress Clara Vine, who also happens to work undercover for the British intelligence services. Set in the period just prior to the Second World War taking place, it sees her, an Anglo-German woman, going behind enemy lines into Germany, specifically Berlin where the horrors of Hitler’s Nazi party are starting to take shape. Looking to gather intelligence for the British government, she manages to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Nazi party and, without being detected, helps in the forthcoming war effort, all the while desperately attempting to evade detection.

1. Black Roses (2013)
Terrifying secrets, torn loyalties, love versus duty, the gripping story of a young actress caught up in highly dangerous events in 1930s Berlin… Berlin, 1933. Warning bells ring across Europe as Hitler comes to power. Clara Vine, an attractive young Anglo-German actress, arrives in Berlin to find work at the famous Ufa studios. Through a chance meeting, she is unwillingly drawn into a circle of Nazi wives, among them Magda Goebbels, Anneliese von Ribbentrop and Goering’s girlfriend Emmy Sonnemann. As part of his plan to create a new pure German race, Hitler wants to make sweeping changes to the lives of women, starting with the formation of a Reich Fashion Bureau, instructing women on what to wear and how to behave. Clara is invited to model the dowdy, unflattering clothes. Then she meets Leo Quinn who is working for British intelligence and who sees in Clara the perfect recruit to spy on her new elite friends, using her acting skills to win their confidence. But when Magda Goebbels reveals to Clara a dramatic secret and entrusts her with an extraordinary mission, Clara feels threatened, compromised, desperately caught between her duty towards – and growing affection for – Leo, and the impossibly dangerous task Magda has forced upon her.

In a drama which traverses Berlin, Paris, Vienna and London, Clara Vine tries to keep her friends close, but finds her enemies are even closer.

June 1940: Nightly blackouts suffocate Berlin. Then France falls and a shadow descends across Western Europe now under German occupation.

Then she is summoned to meet the Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels who has decided that Clara should adopt a new role – as his spy — and that she must go to Paris on a mission.
Much as she dislikes the idea, Clara realises this might be the chance to find an escape route to Britain. But Goebbels has other ideas and soon Clara is drawn into a web that threatens to destroy her. As everything she holds dear is taken as ransom, she must fight to protect her family – and to survive…
