About this listen

MI6 plan to assassinate the leading maker of IEDs - roadside bombs- as he leaves his house in Iran. But first, they need to know when he is leaving. So it is that Danny 'Badger' Baxter finds himself in Iran, lumbered with a partner he loathes, lying next to a mosquito-infested marsh, observing the house. And knowing that if they are caught, Her Majesty's Government will deny all knowledge of them.

This kept me hooked throughout. The conflict between the two main protagonists was so well written.

Excellent!

The authenticity of the two main characters and their experience. The descriptions of the locations and the protocol of both sides.





















I was totally gripped once the story unfolded

This was an unusual plot but the layout of the characters and storyline are becoming a little bit too like a standard formula for GS and lack the originality of his earlier works, time for a change of direction for GS I think. Nevertheless, it is a good listen to those unfamiliar with GS's books and worthwhile for that, its just I've either read or listened to all his previous books and they're becoming a bit tired.

Plot too similar to his other books

This is a wide ranging tale which necessarily takes time to build with a diverse cast whose roles and backstories are carefully delineated. It’s also a complex situation and Gerald Seymour doesn’t insult his reader’s intelligence by simplifying it too much. So, stick with it, when the story really gets going it’s unstoppable.

Slow burn but worth it

I didnt like it at first then i had to finish it. A sad story of the world we live in and the emotions that war can bring.

Real and scary

I really enjoyed this book. I have read a lot of Gerald Seymour books over the years and he is a great storyteller. I admit I had not read one of his for a while but the write-up attracted me to this because of my background. It was tense and suspenseful and really drew me along with it. The narator was good and overall I would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent Book

Would you listen to A Deniable Death again? Why?

We enjoy books by this author and his way of telling the story, this one dragged on through the middle however it was compelling listening towards the end and you could feel all the human emotions

Any additional comments?

Very good narration

Good but Slow

This story had me from the beginning, I expected a plot twist or two and as several coarses of action converge into the grand scheme of things, this managed a few more.
Some I saw coming as they built up, some not.
The action builds to a double peak, and then a sympathetic 'closure'.

It is brilliantly read, with voices and accents that seem fitting of the characters.

Nail biting...

This takes what was a great read to a whole new level.
Blown away!!!

Outstanding narration!!!!

A brilliant book, absorbed from start to finish. The story was woven with such skill, I felt I was in the marshes with Foxy and Badger. Going to get another book by Gerald Seymour
