About this listen

Find the truth; risk everything. A gripping WWII spy novel full of intrigue and peril from a modern master.

1942: a German spy comes ashore on a desolate stretch of Lincolnshire beach. But he is hunted down by a young detective, Richard Prince. The secret services have need of a man like him....

In occupied Europe, Denmark is a hotbed of problems for British intelligence. Rumours of a war-ending weapon being developed by the Germans are rife. Sent to Copenhagen, Prince is soon caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dodging Gestapo agents, SS muscle and the danger of betrayal, his survival - and the war effort - hangs in the balance.

Gripping and intense, Prince of Spies is the first in a new espionage series that will delight fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr and John le Carré.

The story is ok….not hugely thrilling and a little far-fetched, but I did feel compelled to finish it…the narration is pretty poor and lacking in variety and excitement. I don’t think I’ll be bothering with any more titles by this author…perhaps if it was narrated by Jonathan Keeble I might be thinking differently??

Dull narration

The plot of this novel is well researched, tense and keeps you wanting to find out what happens. I’d say that the writing itself is a little clunky with some dodgy dialogue, but that said I enjoyed it

Great War story

an ok story but pretty obvious. probably better read rather than listened to. the narration is lumpy, pauses in all the wrong places, no flow to conversations and mispronounced words everywhere

awful narration

Gripping story, not predictable, a page turner. Highly recommend. They want me to write a 15 review but succinct is better I think!!

A quick read. Page turner. Liked the Scandinavian setting and the story from the middle of WW2.
Thought I was buying a book though, with a beginning middle and end.
This has a cliff-hanger end.

Enjoyable spy/war story
