Publisher's summary

November 1943. Tehran, Iran. The three allied leaders, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin meet to discuss the invasion of Europe and final defeat of Nazi Germany.

When a British Intelligence officer is murdered just days before the start of the conference, Booth Salinger, an American OSS officer, is sent to Tehran to investigate. Against this backdrop, A Spy in the Shadows unfolds exposing a tale of dedicated opponents, betrayal of allies, and a German spy, codenamed Traveler, who possesses secrets that could delay the allied invasion and change the outcome of the war.

Much better than average.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Spy in the Shadows to be better than the print version?

Yes...Narrator brought it to life.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Many twists and turns...usually I can figure out the "bad guy." Not this time.

Which character – as performed by James Killavey – was your favorite?

All of them. Did a great job with a very large group of characters..and accents.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The end that...wasn't really the end...can't give anymore away.

Any additional comments?

Excellent story and very well read.

Average at Best

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone on a long boring drive

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not really. The story has been told a bit better, but this book played the characters out until I lost interest. I never engaged with the story's main characters. The end did have a nice little twist, but it petered out by the end.

What didn’t you like about James Killavey’s performance?

At times (many), it was like being narrated to by the robot from "Lost in Space"

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Not much
