Book Description:
Follow Bill and Maggie in
London 2010 as they explore the events of August 15th 1939. When at the brink
of World War II, an English plane crashed and sunk in Danish waters. Five
deaths were reported: two Standard Oil of New Jersey employees, a German Corporate
Lawyer, an English member of Parliament, and a crew member for the airline.
Bill and Maggie find a conceivable version of the events.
My Thoughts:
‘The Bridge Of Deaths’ is a combination of historical facts and
fiction. It takes you on a journey with the author. It’s the story of Egan looking
into a plane crash that claimed the life of her grandfather and four others.
She always thought the plane crash and circumstances surrounding it did not add
up. She believed there was foul play. She retells her all of her thoughts on
this in very detailed accounts of all the files upon files she has collected up
over the years, with all the research she has done.
She also added in a nice bit of fiction with the characters Bill
and Maggie. Bill’s character is a very interesting twist to this story and
Maggie is a nice companion to Egan’s character in the story. Being someone she
can tell her theories to and share all her information she has collected with.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. The tale of the plane crash
and of her grandfather’s life was intriguing. Even though this is not my
typical read I did get really into the storyline. You could tell Egan put a lot
of hard work and heart into this book and it shows. I have nothing but
admiration for Egan, I think she did a wonderful job with this novel and I can’t
wait to read more of her work.
