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)

Excellent story

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.

Did not go anywhere.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jane Thynne again?

No not after this one.

Any additional comments?

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