About this listen
Spies, military secrets, and a personal crusade for freedom....
Rome, 1942.
Cordelia Olivieri is a determined young hotel owner desperate to escape Mussolini’s racial persecution. But as Fascist leaders gather in Rome, Cordelia is suddenly surrounded by the world’s most ruthless and powerful commanders.
In an effort to keep her Jewish heritage a secret and secure safe passage out of Italy, Cordelia forms a dangerous alliance with the British army who want to push the Axis out of North Africa once and for all.
Going undercover, Cordelia begins obtaining and leaking military intelligence to a British agent, hoping the intel will secure her freedom. But the more Cordelia uncovers, the greater the risks—especially for one handsome German Afrika Korps officer.
How far must Cordelia go to protect her identity and secure passage out of Rome?

I found the story to be fast paced. All aspects of the human phyche can be found here. Love, hate, fear, cruelty and hope.
The characters are very believable and well written and the plot is well thought out. Even though Lucifer’s Game is a work of fiction I could imagine it happening in real life. I can imagine that many hours of research were carried out before pen was even out to paper.
As an avid historian, I knew very little of what happened in Italy during the war and Lucifer’s Game has left me wanting to find out more about this subject.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Ms Loggia’s next novel.
Great read from an exciting new author

I the Audiobook version is amazing, the narration by Rachel Capel is brilliant and the way she handles the voices of the caracters is top notch. It was a great listen that kept me riveted. Great stuff!

For a start, the plot is original, the book is very well written and I liked the storytelling a lot. It has memorable, strong characters, all determined to reach their goals and the writer did a great job in placing them into a well portrayed, true-life context. The mixing of fictional and historical events is well accomplished, and I felt able to roam the streets of Fascist Rome with Cordelia Olivieri. I particularly liked how the writer rotates her narration around the many points of views of all protagonists. I very much loved the first part of the book, where their different stories are progressively woven together, as I had the opportunity to fully understand their fears and motivations. The tension starts to build up since the very beginning, and if pages turned nicely in the first part, I motored through the excellent second part, a spinning swirl of actions until the very end. I also enjoyed the steamy scenes, which make the characters very human.
The Audiobook is great, I loved the narration paceby Rachel Capel and I was very much impressed with the way she handles all the voices of the multiple characters.
It is a job well done when there are so many different sorts of characters to turn your voice talents to, and you can manage this without resorting to caricature, which Capel does with aplomb.
A very promising and greatly enjoyable debut, highly recommended.
Great Story , amazing Audiobook

I find it so refreshing to go back to a time before mobile phones and emails; to a time when subterfuge meant writing instructions in flour then sweeping it away - when a message had to go via mouth or a hand-written note - and men and women put their lives on the line for their country.
Shame about the Narrator!
