Interview with Tricia and her co-author Mike Yorkey!
Ruth at Christian Fiction Queen
The Swiss Courier is proving to be a spectacular read! It’s a compulsive page-turner, and so far I’d rank it among the very best World War II fiction I’ve ever encountered (and since that’s by far my favorite time period to study, for me that’s saying something!).
Nicole at Gidget Goes Home
As soon as I started the book I was hooked.
Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey DO NOT disappoint! What a great, fast-paced read – you will be hooked from the start and learn something along the way.
Sunny at That Book Addiction
I was thrown into the story and wondering how the characters were going to get out of each situation and hoping their missions succeeded despite unimaginable kinks thrown their way. Loved the ending!
Denise at Under the Boardwalk
If you like suspense, intrigue, spies, action and a bit of romance, you will love this book. It hooked me from the first page and had me riveted to the end.
Amy at Amy’s Random Thoughts
I totally recommend reading this or getting it for a friend. This book took me to another time and another place and the characters were so real.

Heather at Mumblings of a Mommy Monk
What a treat (kind of like Swiss dark chocolate)! I enjoyed this unique perspective on stories from that time in history and the realistic internal struggles the main character faces. I don’t think I’ve read anything from the perspective of a Swiss (neutral) national being involved in the war or about the building of the atomic bomb. The historical elements tied together with the real life experiences made this book a fun read.
Melody at Kids, Cakes, Dishes, Laundry…In That Order
When I read the preface of the book and recognized the story of Valkyrie, I was immediately drawn in. The story of Gabi Mueller takes place after the failed Valkyrie endeavor, and is immediately both gripping and heart-warming. Her job is dangerous and full of plot twists and surprises that keep you guessing, and turning page after page with very little regard for the laundry piles in the next room, or the dishes stacked next to the kitchen sink…. ahem.
Pam at Without Fear
Wow! I haven’t read a book in awhile that pulled me into its pages like a magnet. The Swiss Courier is one such book.The storyline is continually on the move and leaves the reader no time for catching breath, let alone to be bored. The masterful telling is captivating in a way that combines intrigue and suspense with characters you can’t help but identify with in one way or another.

Amy at The 160 Acre Woods
When I picked this book up, I wasn’t sure what to think… I’m not a big historical reader BUT I really enjoyed this books. I had a difficult time putting it down. The combination of Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey brought the history together and entwined it to make it fast moving, suspenseful and entertaining. I was drawn in right away to the characters and couldn’t help but like the lead female Gabi right away. She was strong and likeable. I felt like I was swept off into their world of days gone by. I like how it covers WWII — it tells the story with real heart and emotions. It provided enough details without overkilling or dragging the story down.
Mary at Relevant Blog
What I love about The Swiss Courier is its gutsy heroine Gabi. Willing to take risks for the higher good, yet vulnerable—Gabi is a wonderful portrayal of the tender strength of womanhood. Add that to a twisting plot, the raging of World War II, and kindling love and you have an enjoyable read.
Jamie at Surviving the Chaos
It is classic Goyer (Maybe classic Yorkey, too, but I’m not familiar…) in that you can’t put it down because you just HAVE TO KNOW how they will converge and survive. The book was good, man. Good.
AnnMarie at More Than Just A Mom
I like the fact that the book surprised me here and there. Although I had figured out one of the major plot twists, one or two others did surprise me. I like the descriptions of Switzerland and I even learned how the Swiss managed to stay out of the war. It was an interesting, pleasant read. This was an action packed story with well rounded characters and an electric setting.

Leticia at My Daily Trek
My gosh! Where to even begin to describe this fantastic, awesome, powerful book. If you are a WWII fan this is one of the best books to read. I cannot even begin to articulate the thrill ride.
Jeanette at His Marvelous Work
As always, the story had me reading until I could barely keep my eyes open. The Swiss Courier is a nail-biting tale of courage and sacrifice during one of our world’s darkest periods of history.
Jill at Christian Work At Home Moms LIVE INTERVIEW!!!
Both authors have written gads of books, but they came together to write one of the best WWII novels I’ve read yet. I enjoy reading about this time period – all that went on and the redeeming stories of people who stepped up to do the right thing. You won’t be able to put this book down!
Jennifer at Rundpinne
Alternating fluidly between Germany and Switzerland, the reader is drawn into the worlds of the Third Reich as well as the resistance movement. The characters are so well written into the story lines one cannot help but feel as if they are there with the characters. The fluidity of the novel along with the impeccable details of the various sites, from Davos, Switzerland to Heidelberg, Germany, one cannot help but feel transported back in time. The story lines flow with a brilliant fluidity while maintaining secrets, hidden identities and agendas until the very end.
Laura at Lighthouse Academy
I had never heard of the Assination attempt on Hitler’s life before, but THE SWISS COURIER is set around that and also it involves Swiss characters, a supposedly “neutral nation. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t put this book down.
Michelle at Edgy Inspirational Author
I finished The Swiss Courier last night. It was a compelling read with a lot of twists and turns.
