About this listen

A thrilling World War One spy story from the author of the acclaimed Jack Haldean series.

"There's a spy in England. Frankie's letter. Read Frankie's letter...." The last words said by a dying man to Anthony Brooke in Kiel in Germany during the height of World War One. But who is Frankie?< /p>

With his cover blown and the German army at his heels, English secret agent Anthony Brooke's search to discover the truth leads him to an innocent-seeming country house. Here, deep within the English countryside, as Anthony uncovers a web of spies, treachery and terrorists, the war becomes close and very personal.

An enjoyable listen

Action scenes were well written. The narration was very good. However, the twists in the story were guessable well before they happened. The writing, apart from the action scenes, wasn't great. Some of the plot points were truly unbelievable!
Not a book I would listen to again, but it was very good for a free read.

Good for a free read!

A very old fashioned tale, and all the better for it! Highly enjoyable, well paced & with lots of good characters. The narration was second to none, and he even managed to do a Belfast accent without making this Belfast fella not cringe too much!
You can spot the twists coming, so if you’re into complex mystery solving you may be disappointed, but as good clean entertainment it’s enjoyable.

Old fashioned action!

I have read a few of DGS novels and enjoyed them. Although this story was decent, it was poorly written. I was forced to wonder just how many times one man can "smile ruefully". Also, the narrator jarred with me; he read the story as if it were an instruction manual. Listen if you've nothing better to do, otherwise give it a swerve.

Not one of her best
