Summary

Jan Fabel is a troubled man. His relationships with the women in his life are becoming increasingly complicated. If that weren’t bad enough, after a gap of 10 years, a female serial killer – the Angel of St Pauli – again makes the headlines when an English pop star is found in Hamburg’s red-light district, dying of savage knife wounds. Links emerge with a series of apparently unrelated events. A journalist murdered in Norway. The death of a Serbian gangster.

And a long-forgotten project by East Germany’s Stasi conceived at the height of the Cold War, involving a highly trained group of female assassins, known by the codename Valkyrie. Fabel’s hunt for the truth will bring him up against the most terrifyingly efficient professional killer.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Valkyrie Song to be better than the print version?

I never understand this daft question, although on this occasion the narration was so good I would definitely say yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

Again daft, Jan Fabel is great so why look further?

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I live in Hamburg and can therefore relate to all of the locations, it's spot on, if a litle creepy hearing a murger taking place a few streets away from where you live

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely nothing, it is outstanding. His voice is perfectly pitched for a crime thriller of this type and his pronounciation is also spot on.

Any additional comments?

Read it or listen to it soon...

Excellent in all respects

A great fast paced story but doesn’t it make a difference if it also has a great narrator who is capable of bringing all the characters to life. I had previously embarked on a Jonathan Kellerman book but I only managed to get half way through as the narrator was so awful.

Excellent story and narration

like the book - glad i purchased, not a 5 like say "day of jackal" or "odessa file" but is very interesting. What the book lacked for me was merry go round factor. i.e. it did not rivet me to the text - i guess thats narrative structure - thats my view

good book not brilliant but detailed a worthy buy
