About this listen

In this tense thriller set on a WW2 airbase, a female pilot faces danger in the sky—and a murderer on the ground.

July 1940. As the Battle of Britain begins, the women of the Air Transport Auxiliary carry out the dangerous task of ferrying warplanes to RAF airbases. But for the ATA detachment sent to the base at Scotney, it’s not only in the skies that they’re a target—it seems a killer is stalking them on the ground...

On the day pilot Lizzie Hayes arrives in the quiet village, one of her new comrades is found murdered. One of the few women in Britain with a psychology PhD, Lizzie thinks she can use her skills to help identify the killer among the military staff and local villagers, but DI Jonathan Kember isn’t convinced. When a second pilot is murdered, Lizzie’s profile of the killer comes into sharper focus—attracting anonymous threats against her own life.

With Kember’s investigation stalling and events at the airbase becoming ever more sinister, Lizzie’s talents are given a chance. But can she and the still-sceptical Kember work together to find the killer before Lizzie becomes the next victim?

This is a new author but WOW what a start to a long successful career. The storyline has twists and turns until the very end. I love the historical, locality and technical detail included, it shows it’s well researched. I was transported back to the era so really enjoyed it.
To the experienced Audible reader the narrator can make or break a good story. Sarah Zimmerman is great, she has subtle changes for each character and accent, it is seamless.
If you enjoy this genre I strongly recommend you buy this book,

FANTASTIC BOOK

Still struggling through against the narration. I think I would prefer her own accent or someone else. Will see if other books are in Kindle.

Narration #2

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I was too distracted by the narrators delivery to really enjoy this book. Set in WW2 England it was disconcerting to listen to the Americanisation of so many words.

North American pronunciation!

awful narration

Really annoying reader who clearly isn't English and pronounces words wrongly. No Enlish readers available?

Awful narration spoiled good story
