About this listen

World War II comes to Farleigh Place, the ancestral home of Lord Westerham and his five daughters, when a soldier with a failed parachute falls to his death on the estate. After his uniform and possessions raise suspicions, MI5 operative and family friend Ben Cresswell is covertly tasked with determining if the man is a German spy. The assignment also offers Ben the chance to be near Lord Westerham's middle daughter, Pamela, whom he furtively loves. But Pamela has her own secret: she has taken a job at Bletchley Park, the British code-breaking facility.

As Ben follows a trail of spies and traitors, which may include another member of Pamela's family, he discovers that some within the realm have an appalling, history-altering agenda. Can he, with Pamela's help, stop them before England falls?

Inspired by the events and people of World War II, writer Rhys Bowen crafts a sweeping and riveting saga of class, family, love, and betrayal.

The clipped and carefully enunciated voice of the narrator coupled with the rather predictable storyline with one dimensional characters meant it felt like it had been written for ten year olds. Please market it differently. I usually love all the books you suggest

For children?

Excellent read!!

Vaguely similar to her Royal Spyness series, but lacks the charm and humour of those books. All right, but somewhat disappointing.

Easy to listen to. Nothing special.

As a historian I congratulate the author for her dedication to our past and hope that many more books are coming

The narrative was superb and the story was great

The book was OK, plot rather weak. Narrator not so good. She said aerodome instead of aerodrome every time the word cropped up!

Pleasant book, shame about the narrator

The story line is strong and very credible, I enjoyed it. Partially historically correct and had the listener guessing.
I recommend this story, very easy to listen to and a transport to a bygone age.

Nostalgia
