Summary

Find the truth; risk everything. A gripping WWII spy novel full of intrigue and peril from a modern master. 

1942: a German spy comes ashore on a desolate stretch of Lincolnshire beach. But he is hunted down by a young detective, Richard Prince. The secret services have need of a man like him.... 

In occupied Europe, Denmark is a hotbed of problems for British intelligence. Rumours of a war-ending weapon being developed by the Germans are rife. Sent to Copenhagen, Prince is soon caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dodging Gestapo agents, SS muscle and the danger of betrayal, his survival - and the war effort - hangs in the balance. 

Gripping and intense, Prince of Spies is the first in a new espionage series that will delight fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr and John le Carré.

Takes one back into the horrors of war, and the brave people of the time.

Very interesting story.

The characters are wooden, their behaviour is sometimes fundamentally unbelievable, and the narration is distracting (with the narrator pausing at odd places, and mispronouncing words). And the story is not engaging or exciting.

I thought the rule for authors was ‘show don’t tell’. Occasional chapters of excitement between long flat sections. Sometimes felt like a list of events when the chapter was ripe was action or suspense.

Few thrills or spills
