About this listen

In West Germany, a British agent is savagely murdered and left with a neo-Nazi sign carved into his back. In London, Tweed of the Secret Intelligence Service sends his most capable operator, Keith Martel, to replace the man—and to find the truth behind his death.

Very soon, the top four Western leaders—American, British, French and German—will be on their way to meet their Soviet counterpart in Vienna for a crucial summit. Tweed and Martel believe one of them is the target for assassination. They must urgently work out which one—or a nightmare will come true....

Double Jeopardy is the first in the Tweed & Co series of gripping and suspenseful spy thrillers—perfect for fans of John le Carré, Ken Follett, and Charles Cumming.

So glad to see that Colin Forbes has finally been put onto audible. Yes they were written a long time ago when there was no social media or mobile phones etc but that is what life was like then, and many of us still remember those days. I thoroughly enjoyed it as I’ve only previously been able to listen on scratchy cassettes. I hope they put more of his books out on audible.

Super

Honestly, this is like yer Dad wrote a pastiche of James Bond. On the plus side, there’s a proper plot to keep you engaged. On the negative, it’s a badly written rag bag of misogynistic tropes and derring do acted out on shag pile carpets. It was only at the end that it became clear that the book was written somewhere around 1970 so maybe that’s more understandable (if not forgivable) but if you want a romp where women are girls with shapely legs, men smoke cigars or Silk Cut and someone gets killed in a Historic Embroidery Museum then go for it.

Entertainingly bad
