The Jack Turner Suspense series by Dan Walsh is a great choice for those who love suspense with a little history thrown in. The third book in the series, Unintended Consequences, is almost all WWII action and intrigue. The love story of Jack’s grandparents is introduced as newlyweds Jack and Rachel make a stop at Jack’s grandmother Renee’s home during their honeymoon tour. When Jack is called away on some university business, Rachel settles in for the exiting tale Renee spins. The story revolves around American-born Jack Turner as he sets off to join the RAF before America enters the war. He is also on a quest to discover the truth behind his mother’s death and the chance to find his twin brother. While that intriguing story is enough to make this book, Walsh adds the thrill of dogfights during the Battle of Britain, a wartime romance, and a daring escape. My husband and I listened to the audiobook which was again expertly read. We both loved this book — action combined with great storytelling make this one a recommended read from both of us.

Recommended.

I see that this is part of a suspense series, but I wouldn't call this book particularly suspenseful. It did have a good romantic story set in WWII era though.

Jack and Rachel Turner have planned to stop at his grandmother's while on their honeymoon. Jack particularly wants Rachel to hear the story of how his grandmother and grandfather met. But shortly after they arrive, Jack gets a call that sends him back to where he works to cover a conference. Jack insists that Rachel stay and hear the story--so most of the storyline/plot takes place during WWII years and in France and England--with a different Jack Turner as the main character. ( )
