Best of the series so far!

Loved it. I can't get enough of Gabriel Allon. excellent narration as assual. thank you.

This should be a movie

Vivid characterizations and action move this story along. It makes me want to know the characters better and see how they get along in their lives. I highly recommend this audiobook. It is even better the second time around.

Thriller of the year!

Daniel Silver really excels with this book, I think it's the best book I have heard this year. The narration helps, George is like honey to the ears. A beautifully balanced story full of intrigue, twists and turns. A must for thriller / spy fans.

Absolutely Great Listen

The English Girl was well worth the wait. I can't seem to get enough of Daniel Silva's writing and the excellent narration of George Guidall.

Gabriel Allon needs help from the man who lives on the island of Corsica. Allon realizes that the Prime Minister of England wants no scandal. He has been having an affair with The English Girl and if she is not found and tells her story, will he lose the confidence of the voters? If she were to be found dead, as her captor's have been instructed, wouldn't that make all things easier? But who has hired these thugs and why? Gabriel will find answers.

Gabriel Allon has gotten older in mind and spirit but he does continue to enjoy the thrill of being a master spy and the art restorer. Although he says he is done with working for the Office, when called he cannot turn away from knowing his destination in life. He will always want to know the story behind the crime. Allon is a gentle man at heart but cannot quell his need to make that which is wrong to be made right and consequences be dammed.

The characters are very well developed. George Guidall has given life to the character's. The reader will know who is talking. The feeling's of that person will be well understood. Would I recommend this book to other's, absolutely.

Gabriel

Any additional comments?

George is my favorite narrator for this series. He uses proper Yiddish inflections and pronounces the Hebrew with the correct accent. The drollness of the characters humor comes across easily.

great story

An exciting tale with well developed characters and plenty of twists and turns to make it very entertaining.

Very entertaining. Well layed out twists and turns.

My first Gabriel Allon book, New again.
It's hard to listen to other tales after you've heard the best.

A New andIntriguing Twist for an Allon Story

A slow start but a story that builds in intensity to a thrilling conclusion. The story is complex and inventive within the broad outlines of Allon's espionage. A half dozen old characters come back and are developed and woven into the story in many intriguing ways. This title and Fallen Angel are even better than all of the prior books I the series.

Not finished yet and still love it...

Another great Allon adventure, they are never dull. Another couple to finish the series before The Cellist arrives!
