A Novel

De: Dan Fesperman

Narrado por: Dan Fesperman

West Berlin, 1979. Helen Abell oversees the CIA's network of safe houses, rare havens for field agents and case officers amidst the dangerous milieu of a city in the grips of the Cold War. Helen's world is upended when, during her routine inspection of an agency property, she overhears a meeting between two unfamiliar people speaking a coded language that hints at shadowy realities far beyond her comprehension.

Before the day is out, she witnesses a second unauthorized encounter, one that will place her in the sight lines of the most ruthless and powerful man at the agency. Her attempts to expose the dark truths about what she has witnessed will bring about repercussions that reach across decades and continents into the present day, when, in a farm town in Maryland, a young man is arrested for the double murder of his parents, and his sister takes it upon herself to find out why he did it.

Well written

This was a very engaging story. I would recommend this to anyone, it is intriguing. I will read more from this author.

Just Ok

Narrator was pretty good but the story just didn’t hold my interest. I found my mind wandering constantly and had to repeat a chapter more than once. Despite playing it back I still didn’t understand the pond business connection.

Well

Got me hooked pretty early but it seemed to loose steam as it went along. Some quick tying up at the end seemed rushed.

Not My Preferred Genre

I thought I would try something different so picked this book up on a Daily Deal. It was worth the $4.00 I paid for it. Some tense & exciting moments here & there.
The Narrator/Author did a great job, contrary to some other reviews. I enjoyed the narration most about this book.
Like I said, this isn’t my preferred genre so that’s probably why I wasn’t crazy about the story. It was ok though.

Hard start….

At first I was thinking about giving up on this book because it was so hard to follow. But I’m glad I didn’t because it was an excellent story.

Worth listening

Was entertaining and well done, but so often required to listener to suspend belief in reality to continue. Overall worthwhile

Attention Keeper

Good story line, believable tradecraft, expert narration....all in all an enjoyable audio experience. Recommend his "The Double Game" and "Layover in Dubai". Equally, good reads....

Excellent Spy Story

Great plot. The story has two storylines separated by 40 years expertly interwoven with related characters. Well worth the investment of time and credits. Look forward to more books from this author.

The author narrated the book and did an excellent job.

Better than many

A well told intrigue. Well developed characters a clear villain some shady maybe villains and some allies.

Great story!

Enjoyed the two story lines of past and present in tandem. Author tied it all together really well at the end. I would definitely recommend.
