For a lighthearted read and a few chuckles I recommend 'Flannel Gowns and Granny Panties."

"The Nightengale" by Kristin Hannah. It's about the French living under German occupation in WW2, but also about the evolving relationship between two sisters who cope with the war in very different ways.

Piranha (A Novel of the Oregon Files) by Clive Cussler.
"During a covert operation, Cabrillo and the crew meticulously fake the sinking of the Oregon—but when an unknown adversary tracks them down despite their planning and attempts to assassinate them, Cabrillo and his team struggle to fight back against an enemy who seems to be able to anticipate their every move. They discover that a traitorous American weapons designer has completed the German scientist’s work, and now wields extraordinary power, sending the Oregon on a race against time to stop an attack that could lead to one man ruling over the largest empire the world has ever known."

I read The Nightingale also. If you enjoy that one you might also read The Winter Garden, by same author. Same sort of historical subject matter.

Started 'The Girl In The Spider's Web.' I was a bit hesitant to come back to this series with a new author in place, but it feels exactly the same. Such interesting characters.
