Story4.5 out of 5 stars 853
On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy and suffered an astonishingly low rate of casualties. A stunning military achievement, it was also a masterpiece of trickery. Operation Fortitude, which protected and enabled the invasion, and the Double Cross system, which specialized in turning German spies into double agents, tricked the Nazis into believing that the Allied attacks would come in Calais and Norway rather than Normandy.

The narrator is horrible

It’s amazing how a good book can be ruined by a bad narrator. I wanted to enjoy this story. Had to put the narrator on .5 speed.

When ex-detective inspector Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, author Anthony Horowitz, are invited to an exclusive literary festival on Alderney, an idyllic island off the south coast of England, they don’t expect to find themselves in the middle of murder investigation - or to be trapped with a cold-blooded killer in a remote place with a murky, haunted past.

Antony Horowitz is very talented author. He has created a sort of “meta” whodoneit in which he himself is cast as a comically hapless side-kick obliged to write about a brilliant but troubled detective who annoys him. He is the Watson, always a step behind, overshadowed, and forced to pick up the bill.
I can’t even believe the vocal talents of the narrator. He is truly amazing in his ability to pull off the various voices and accents of the characters.
This is a series worthy of a binge-listen. It’s great!
