Story
Four years ago Eliza Dacey was brutally murdered. Within hours, her killer was caught. Wasn’t he? So reads the opening titles of Jack Quick’s new true-crime documentary. A skilled producer, Jack knows that the bigger the conspiracy, the higher the ratings. Curtis Wade, convicted of Eliza’s murder on circumstantial evidence and victim of a biased police force, is the perfect subject. Millions of viewers agree. Just before the finale, Jack uncovers a minor detail that may prove Curtis guilty after all. Convinced it will ruin his show, Jack disposes of the evidence and delivers the finale unedited: proposing that Curtis is innocent.

Typical Baldachi Conspiracy Theory Theme<br />
- By Peter Beckerleg on 04-12-2018
Publisher's Summary
Is Moscow pulling the strings? Urgent, topical and shot through with insider knowledge, this is thriller writing on a grand scale.
Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova has been a recruited asset of the CIA - stealing Kremlin secrets for her handler, Nate Nash - for over seven years. In the dazzling finale of the Red Sparrow trilogy, their forbidden and tumultuous love affair continues, mortally dangerous for them both but irresistible.
In Washington, a newly installed administration is selecting its cabinet members. Dominika hears whispers of a closely held Kremlin operation to place a mole in a high intelligence position. If the Kremlin's candidate is confirmed, the Russians will have access to all the names of assets spying for the CIA in Moscow, including Dominika's.
Dominika recklessly immerses herself in the palace intrigues of the Kremlin, searching for the mole's identity and stealing as many of President Putin's secrets for her CIA handlers as she can before her time runs out.
With a plot ripped from tomorrow's headlines, The Kremlin's Candidate is a riveting listen and a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that began with Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason.

A fitting end to a great trilogy. Sad ending but such is the nature of the fiction and the not so fictional, real world reality, that the entire story is modelled on. I look forward to day I get to meet my own blue eyed dancer with planetary resolve, animal intentions, an almost imperceptible limp, and warm hearted obsession. Dominika was indeed a lovely character to get to know.

Needs a better reader
What did you like most about The Kremlin's Candidate?
Good, interesting story.
What did you like best about this story?
Mostly gripping, with fewer detailed sex scenes than in the previous two books, which seemed like simple padding.
How could the performance have been better?
A better reader who understands how not to maintain a boring tone and how to pronounce borrowed foreign words.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
She's a killer who loves her country enough to betray its government.

Good story, extremely irritating narrator
I liked the story but gave up on the narrator after two hours and returned to my Kindle. I have persevered with other narrators in the past but I could not handle this one despite the many five star reviews. Perhaps to American ear Jeremy Bobb is fine but I found his delivery mechanical and monotonous and his pronunciation of Russian names and words extremely annoying. I have lived in Russia and this murdering of the beautiful language in tolerable.
That being said the novel's plotting is intricate and intriguing and the author knows how to inform and maintain suspense. Although the characters were somewhat stereotyped and Vladimir Putin portrayed as a simple bad guy this did not overly detract from the overall pleasure.

Best of this great series by far.
Red Sparrow (book 1) introduced the main characters and had a pretty strong story (if you can, as I have, ignore the awful, shallow and inaccurate movie rendition of it). The second book? Meh. Decent story but I couldn’t get past the reader on Audible, just disappointing with poor pronunciation and ludicrous character voices. The Kremlin’s Candidate sees a return to a great reader with the gravitas necessary to carry this story. The plot goes far beyond either of the earlier two books, taking us deeper into the layers of distrust and betrayal on both sides of the new Cold War. Not to mention the consequences that await officers who fall foul of their counterparts- or even their colleagues. Read them all, but if you’re in a dip by the middle of book two, know that there’s much better in store in this book. And did I mention? Leave the movie alone. It’s not a patch on the book.
