About this listen

The Joe Johnson Thriller Series: Fast-paced spy conspiracy thrillers featuring former CIA war crimes investigator Joe Johnson.

The first three full-length thrillers in this internationally best-selling series come together in this great value box set.

The Last Nazi:

The buried contents of a Nazi train. An aging SS mass-murderer - with one last unexpected sting in his tail. And the war secrets of a US presidential hopeful’s Jewish family, hidden in London for 70 years.

Joe Johnson is more than intrigued when he learns of a link between the financing for the presidential candidate’s campaign, the Nazi train, and a ruthless British blackmail plot.

But the investigation becomes bigger and more deeply personal than Johnson expects when it turns out the SS Holocaust killer escaped his net years earlier.

The Old Bridge:

Johnson is sucked into an inquiry that delves into a top CIA man’s corruption. It culminates in an electrifying hunt for a wartime killer in New York City and London, triggered by a dramatic death on a ruined iconic bridge. Johnson and his ex-MI6 colleague Jayne Robinson walk a minefield while hunting an army officer who vanished from Mostar after the Yugoslav civil war with a secret dossier linked to the White House.

BANDIT COUNTRY:

A British police chief joins the list of high-profile Northern Ireland serial sniper victims. Tension rises as the US president visits. And the 29-year mystery around an IRA killer’s gruesome death deepens.

Johnson is called in as the sniper’s body count rises. But with the motive unknown, the clock is ticking down as the president and UK prime minister prepare for a G8 world summit near Belfast.

Eventually, Johnson and Jayne Robinson uncover historic hidden files, documents and dark secrets from three decades earlier that certain high-flying public figures would rather remain unread.

I ploughed on with the first two, flinching regularly at the poor accents and mispronounced words, but the final story, set in Ireland was a step too far. Two chapters had me screaming in my head at the appalling Irish imitation. There are so many great performers available, why on earth choose this one. The reasonably interesting stories are definitely destroyed by the ‘artist’. Such a shame. I abandoned the last book and will definitely be careful to avoid anything voiced by him again

The worst performance artist ever

Not good. Very pedestrian. Lack of depth. Lack of character. Just a bandwagon of espionage. Even the character names are lame. Didn’t bother to work hard for your money.

Mediocre and extremely tedious

I wanted to enjoy this book because I've enjoy Andrew Turpin's storylines. However, the narrators inability to do any Irish accent, let alone distinguishing between a northern and southern accent, really spoilt the experience. Disappointing.

Appalling Accents

The narrator was, at best, poor. He would have been better doing it all in an American accent rather than attempt Liverpool, Bosnian and English accents. The main villain in book 2, Franjo, was referred to by name as Fran Jo. Basic task is to find out pronunciation. Franjo is pronounced Franyo
At the time of Book 2, I was actually living and working in Bosnia as a War Crimes Investigator so I persevered with it just because the place and subject are very close to my heart.
Made it a short way into Book 3 but the story was not at all believable and the accents used were appalling!

Not the best
