From review: "Chameleon is well-paced and keeps the readers on their toes as to what will happen next. Chapter’s end on cliffhangers keeping readers on tenterhooks. The suspense, espionage, plot twists and subterfuge are skillfully implemented, completely entrenching readers in a different, more horrific world. The author’s descriptions of key authority figures within the Nazi regime is nothing short of chilling."
