The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff FIC Jen

    I've had read other books by Jenoff and I was sure I was going to love this one too.  And I did!   It is historical fiction which is set immediately after World War II and begins in Grand Central Station.  Grace Healey is on her way to work where she discovers a suitcase (when she trips on it!).  Thinking she might find a clue to the owner, she opens it up and sees photos of women but no identification  other than the word Trigg .  Needing to get to work she impulsively takes the photos and leaves the suitcase.
       Later she finds out that it belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg who helped train a group of ordinary women to be secret agents in Europe.  Their job was to act as couriers and radio operators in order to help the Resistance.  The women in the photos Grace found belong to 12 women who risked their lives to help win the war and they never came home.  Grace is determined to find out what happened to them.
