Unfinished Business

De: Shankari Chandran

Narrado por: Nicholas Brown, Pallavi Sharda

Sri Lanka, 2009. Decades of civil war and bloodshed are being brought to an end at last – by any means necessary. In the capital, Colombo, tenacious journalist Ameena Fernando is murdered, execution-style, on a busy street near her home, with no witnesses.

With pressure growing to find Ameena’s killers, CIA agent Ellie Harper is sent to seek justice for the journalist’s death with strict instructions: Find something, but not too much. It’s her first time returning to the island after her last mission went tragically awry four years prior, and Ellie has more than one ghost to lay to rest. Amidst the international scheming and jostling for stakes in post-war Sri Lanka, Ellie follows the trail of secrets on a mission to uncover a truth worth killing for.

Brilliant!

A brilliant political thriller with so much heart and deep human emotions. A must read!

Good story, annoying background noises.

For the most part a compelling story. Not stellar but solid. As mentioned in other reviews, the background sounds were annoying.

My favorite type of novel

An intelligent and knowledgeable glimpse of a culture I’m unfamiliar with set against an interesting

Good Listen, Intriguing Spy Story

Interesting information on the politics of Sri Linka and the U.S. involvement. Excellent narration. Didn't care for background noise...distracting.

Disappointed

I was not familiar with this author but was interested in the subject so took a chance based on the reviews. I gave up after 2 hours mostly because the background noise was too distracting and annoying. I rarely write reviews but don’t recommend this book.

What a spy thriller! Totally gripping listen

This is a fantastic audiobook from an Australian author. Engaging story, great narration. Highly recommended!

intense

Parts of this story were very intense and there are some horrific war stories included. The end unfortunately, was settled on a simplistic manner. Overall, it was enjoyable.

Fantastic

Both the writing and the narrating are superb. The unusual setting, characters, plot, and conflict keep you spellbound, and offer you a time and a place of history that few know about. Absolutely fascinating experience.

Gripping and timely

Incredible and urgent storytelling, I binged the last 10 chapters in one sitting. Didn't see that ending coming, wow!

The background noise was distracting

Interesting story, interesting characters, good narration but the honks, voices, helicopter, traffic noises were distracting.
