Summary
It's not unusual for spies to have secrets, but Henry Hunter has more than most, and after he is stopped by British Intelligence at Croydon airport on the eve of the Second World War, he finds he has even more.
In March 1941 in Berlin, haunted by a dark episode from his past, he makes a fateful decision resulting in a dramatic journey to the Swiss frontier, with a shocking outcome.

Fabulous
One of the best spy novels I’ve read. Twists and turns and heart in your mouth moments. Loved the narrator’s voice. Highly recommend!

Excellent narration.
The narrator really keeps this story flowing well and so easy to listen to. Another really good spy story, although I did get lost a little in the middle on various aspects. A quick rewind sorted that out and I thoroughly enjoyed this story having heard it right after the first in the series. Off to download the third now. An intriguing set of books which prompt historical reflection.

Well written but not well produced.
An exciting and enjoyable read with plenty of hooks to keep the reader interested. The narrator is a very good actor with the ability to convey different voices and accents, however much of the action takes place in Germany or German speaking Switzerland and his erratic and annoyingly inaccurate German pronunciation is very irritating for anyone who knows the language. German has easy pronunciation rules which even a non speaker can learn and master. Certainly this gifted reader with his good ear for accents could have mastered it. It seems no one prepared him.
Apart from that it's a good and well read novel.

Seriously dreary story
Nothing likeable about the Swiss Spy. He’s a deceitful killer with no moral compass. Nobody comes out well in this story and I was thankful when I came to the end.
The narrator makes absolutely no effort to pronounce any of the French and German names/words correctly and I’m at a loss to know why the editor of this audio book didn’t insist on a better job.
I will make a point of avoiding any other books by this author.
