In war, evil doesn't wait for an invitation.
The pounding on the door lasted mere moments. Then Gabrielle watched in horror as German soldiers swarmed into their home.
True, France had fallen long before the end of 1942. But Gabrielle had never considered what it meant to live under the Third Reich. Who would possibly come to her family's winery nestled deep in the French countryside? Surely not a platoon of Waffen-SS, led by a captain with eyes like Death.
Her parents told her the Germans would be gone once the storm passed. But then morning came. And one of the officers turned up dead in the cellar.
The captain was determined to identify the murderer.
Gabrielle had to save her family.
Little did she know that doing so might mean the end of the Resistance.

Excellent and very unusual book about the Second World War in France. The plot cannot be easily categorized. It is a historical novel, focusing on the wine industry in France during the occupation of the country by the Germans. But it is also a thriller, featuring a very unusual investigator, an SS officer trying to figure out who killed one of his officers. This is also a psychological drama because the family whose home is occupied by the SS unit is playing a life and death game of chess with their tormentors. The suspects in the murder include the members of the wealthy wine making family, the British pilot who is hiding in their house, and, of course, the members of the SS unit. The atmosphere of this book is dark and claustrophobic, the research on which the book is based is meticulous, and the psychological insights, including some amazing facts about people's non-verbal behavior under pressure, are impressive. I couldn't let go of this book and read it almost in one sitting. I agree that the ending is disappointing, but, then, it opens the door to a sequel, that I am sure will follow. Highly recommended!Product details

The Hazards of War edition by Jonathan Paul Isaacs Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Hazards is a fast paced, thriller focused on a family during WWII. Love this guy's work, another great read by Isaacs!
Very much enjoyed this book! A mystery within a war story....nice weaving of the two plots, good character development, paced well. Would love to read a continuation...
I enjoyed the pacing and development of the different characters in this story. The motivations of the SS Captain, the murderer, and the grandfather and father were revealed gradually but not in a drawn out way. I finished this book quite quickly and I enjoyed the journey the author took me on--and I found the ending quite satisfactory.
An engrossing read for those who enjoy mystery novels and/or WWII fiction.
It took a few chapters to cover the background of the characters...these chapters were slow and I had problems keeping interested. But once it got into the real plot I couldn't put the book down.
Enjoyed the book. Good story about one family's face to face confrontation with the brutality of war. The sacrifice made by one of the characters and the realization by another of its meaning was not only a demonstration of love and courage but a wakeup call to action, The head German officer was shown to be a conscientious leader of his men, As a soldier, not a ruthless killer, he tried to do what was best given the circumstances. A downed flyer, family dissension, brutality, revenge, murder and the resistance all play a role in this well written novel. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys WW11 novels.
The book is a window into the nationalistic differences of people thrust together in times of war. This story shows a psychological study of a SS officer as he tries to discover who killed one of his men. I found the story enlightening and well written. The author has crafted a thoughtful story that may well surprise you. I highly recommend this author and this book.
I loved the story, a Nazi SS patrol caught in a storm - a murder mystery - excellent writing; the only thing I could have done without was the graphic description of the torture on the British airman's leg.
