About this listen

1963 Berlin is dark and dangerous. The anonymous hero of The IPCRESS File has been sent to help arrange the defection - in an elaborate mock coffin - of a leading Soviet scientist. But, as he soon discovers, this deception hides an even deadlier truth. One of the first novels written after the construction of the Berlin Wall, Funeral in Berlin revels in the murky, chilling atmosphere of a divided city.

I’m not sure why but the narrator decided to use the voice of a poor Michael Caine impersonator throughout. It made the story incredibly difficult to follow as the majority was spoken in three word increments, in a tone that surely didn’t match the authors intent.
