About this listen

Berlin, 1933. Aspiring actress Clara Vine arrives in Berlin to find work at the famous Ufa studios. Through a chance meeting, she is unwillingly drawn into a circle of Nazi wives, led by Magda Goebbels. British Intelligence officer Leo Quinn sees Clara as the perfect recruit to spy on her new elite friends. But then Magda reveals to Clara a dramatic secret and entrusts her with an extraordinary mission.

Critic Reviews

"The crosscurrents and dangers of the build-up to war are established with expertise and not a little menace. Terrific." ( Elizabeth Buchan for Sunday Times)
"Thynne's thriller is strong on the city’s paranoia, and its exploration of the Third Reich’s bizarre attitude to women gives it an original take on Nazi Germany" ( Mail on Sunday)

Full marks to the reader who made the entire story so easy to listen to. I would never have finished the book if not audio. Knowing it's all based on fact makes the story quite thrilling - such brave spies . Will read the series over time.

Any additional comments?

The story was very slow to build then at the end fizzled like a wet fire cracker.

Did not go anywhere.
