The Kill Artist

De: Daniel Silva

Narrado por: Jason Culp

Gabriel Allon had a simple but brutal job: he tracked down and eliminated Israel's terrorist enemies. But when his wife and son fell victim to the danger that accompanied him everywhere, Gabriel quit and devoted himself to the world of art restoration, an occupation that had previously been a cover for his secret assignments. Now Ari Shamron, the head of Israeli intelligence, needs Gabriel's particular kind of experience to thwart a Palestinian plot to destroy the peace negotiations in the Middle East. The architect of this plot, a Palestinian zealot named Tariq, is a lethal part of Gabriel's past, so as the two being an intercontinental game of hide-and-seek, with life and death as the prizes, the motives are as personal as they are political.©2000 Daniel Silva (P)2000 Random House, Inc.

Total Suspense with unforgettable characters

completely engrossing with twists and turns, unforgettable characters, suspense.Loved every minute and learned a lot of history.

Great Narration good twists

I loves the narration and thought the story had a good plot with plenty of twists. I expected more colorful descriptions and has trouble visualizing some of the people and locations because there was not enough description

optional

we shared this title on a road trip. kudos to Mr silva. THREE WORDS REMAING.

Good subject to read all about

I always enjoy books written by Silva describing the activities of Ari Shomron And Gabriel Alon

kill artist

more bad language than I like. we'd read other gabriel allon stories but decided to go back and start at the beginning. good story.

hmmm… a lot like his other book

well, can't say I enjoyed this as much as the english assassin. some redundancy in the descriptive writing and a bit predictable.

Thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns.

Would you listen to The Kill Artist again? Why?

Normally, I would not, however, it was a complicated story with twists. I might be inclined to listen again to develop a greater appreciation of the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, you never know what will happen next.

Which character – as performed by Jason Culp – was your favorite?

He did a good job differentiating the characters, giving each a personality.

1st rate listen.

Where does The Kill Artist rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Daniel Silva is great & story is one of his best. You might be able to guess what happens @ the end, but a great ride while it lasted. Story line is easy to follow & in the end, evil dies & the good prevail. Almost all of Silva''s books are good & can't go wrong to add to the lists of must read/listen for avid readers. A great spy story & interactions are easy to follow..

The evil die, the good prevail.

One of many Silva's best.

Very Good Assassin Story

This is going to be a very good series of Gabriel Allon. I am going to order all series for sure!

Starts Strong, but Finishes with a Fizzle

The Kill Artist has the makings of really good spy thriller. An ex-Israeli commando, now an art restorer. An old enemy on a killing rampage. And a peace process at a critical phase. This book puts you on the edge as you wait to see how things are going to play out. But, in the end, this book lets you down.
