Story
As a boy, Evan Smoak was pulled out of a foster home and trained in an off-the-books operation known as the Orphan Program. He was a government assassin, perhaps the best, known to a few insiders as Orphan X. He eventually broke with the Program and adopted a new name - The Nowhere Man - and a new mission, helping the most desperate in their times of trouble. But the highest power in the country has made him a tempting offer: in exchange for an unofficial pardon, he must stop his clandestine activities as The Nowhere Man.

Publisher's Summary
When you buy murder online, who is there to stop you?
GCHQ agent Winter has just 14 days to bring down the website of a formidable criminal organisation before a teenager is tortured to death in front of an online audience of millions. Going deep under cover disguised as the paid assassin Snow White, Winter must infiltrate the inner circle of the extraordinarily powerful man at the heart of the dark web. This is a gripping, fast-paced ride through a disturbingly plausible technological future in which Callister’s protagonist must battle to bring down the terrifying crimes tearing through society.
About Winter
Master hacker, highly intelligent, combat trained: Winter is a very modern spy. Worlds apart from the straitlaced characters created in the minds of Ian Fleming and John le Carré , Alex Callister's lead protagonist wouldn't dream of playing the part of the impeccable agent. However, despite her intimidating skillset, Winter is delightfully human and often prone to prioritizing her libido over her employer. Undeniably sexy and exceptionally accomplished, Winter is a true 21st-century heroine.
About the Author
Alex Callister is the pseudonym of an industry expert on media, telecoms and internet stocks. She studied history at Oxford and the British School at Rome and was set for a career in academia until the beginning of the tech boom woke a lifelong interest in internet shares. Alex has spent her career visiting high security web hosting sites and speculating on what might go wrong. Winter Dark is her debut novel and the first in the Winter series.

What a terrible book
It remined me of the stuff we used to write in high school where everyone took turns writing some lines. Some parts are so made up. I stopped when the main character travelled to Umbria, and there in the middle of Umbria, without a clue, sniffs a corpse lying under sacks of rotten food and thus finds a new lead. Ok, good luck with that.....

Ell Potter, narrator, Makes this story outstanding !
The story is gripping and features a badass queer woman ! Ell Potter does several accents and is easy to follow character to character . Her voice is smooth and adds dimension without being too breathy or distracting. I’d like to buy more books from this narrator ! I listen to 2-4 books per month .

I regard myself as open minded but the explicit and gratuitous sex was irrelevant to the story. Why? The book reads or should I say sounds like a recording of a fantasy session with the author's therapist.

It's not what I was looking for. I was hoping for more of a cyber-thriller, and though it had that aspect, it was very sexually graphic. I don't have an issue with that, but it's not what I was looking for so, I returned the book.

Gripping, enjoyable and fun
I really enjoyed this story. It was great to find a book with such a powerful and charismatic female protagonist. I would love to meet Winter in person, she's right up my street. The reading pace was a little slow at times, so I found myself listening at 1.5x speed. Overall, a great book and I have pre-ordered the second in the series.

Amazing, gripping, thriller read!
I really enjoyed this extremely well narrated thriller by a new and up and coming author.
If I had been reading and not listening it would be a page turner for sure. It is like a female Bond, Jason Bourne, Lisbeth Salander type character in my option. I can't wait to start Winter Rising when it arrives as I have pre-ordered.
Very well written and expertly described by Ell Porter as Narrator.

Winter superb action thriller
Winter is a brilliantly big action thriller. Great settings London, Paris etc and a sexy hard female character lead who fizzes from one situation to the next. Definitely would make a great film or Netflix series. Sex scenes should be a bit more graphic the sanitised approach does not fit Winter’s character and we are in 2019 after all. Looking forward to the next book.

Trying way too hard
Not often I am driven to write a poor review as I will give a book a few chances. However this is such drivel.
Winter the heroine from this book is a cross between a female Bond and Lizbeth Salandar (Steig Larsson millenium series).
The storyline is way to far fetched and verges in laughable at time. Sex for sexsake and the snowboard scene in Courchevel is hysterical. (I live not far from here and am an avid skier.)
This book has been hyped up, but for me it just did not deliver anything meaningful.
The only outstanding comment I can make is the narration by Ms Potter, She was without fault and got me halfway through the book, before I just could not take it anymore.
