Can’t get enough of this series!

I love everything about this series and George is the master! The characters, the plot, the geography, the history and the humor are interwoven into a masterpiece which is in no need of restoration! I’m listening to the entire series for the second time and enjoying it just as much. Thank you Daniel!

Another of Daniel Silva's best spy novels.

The English Girl is lucky #13, released in 2013, in the Gabriel Allon series. As another reviewer notes Gabriel Allon is getting older (nearing age 50) and noticeably slowing down. An young English woman has gone missing on the Mediterranean island of Corsica and Allon is grudgingly drawn back into his career in Israeli intelligence. Suspense builds as plot twists demonstrate again and again that nothing is as it seems. George Guidall narrates superbly.

A reminder: Novel #17 in the Allon series titled House of Spies will be released on July 11, 2017.

Still good but not the best

What made the experience of listening to The English Girl the most enjoyable?

I always enjoy these books, I learn so much about the history of many parts of the world.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The English Girl?

The big twist...you will have to listen to it yourself.

Any additional comments?

The accents are great except for the British accent for some reason-it was very bad.

Good story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - but start with his earlier books in this series first

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

No- it seemed to drag a bit.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I prefer George Guidall over all other narrators.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is not the first book in this series I have read. So I knew what to expect. I guessed the surprise ending.

Daniel Silva's first 5-Stsr: The English Girl

I have listened to all the Gabriel Allon series Espionage-Adventure novels. Daniel Silva is remarkably consistent in the quality of his writing, (3.5-4,25 stars). I believe the author has exceeded my expectation with THE ENGLISH GIRL; which I would rate at 5-Stars. The story content is superior, it showcases current political upheaval in Russia, predicting Putin's Political Expansionistic desires. (KGB-Oil). As a counterpoint to the modern, he explores the ancient traditions practiced on the Island of Corsica. This all adds interesting texture to the standard conflict between Good -vs-Evil. There are even romantic entanglements to overcome to please readers that enjoy this dynamic. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys political-espionage thrillers.

Fabulous on all fronts

Wow! Daniel Silva, you are genius!

The best of the series so far. Story is amazing; narration is just about perfect; surprises are many. On top of all that, Silva's ability to write awesome dialogue is highlighted in this book.

I have come to really like Christopher Keller. And the goat is wonderful.
I don't know how Daniel Silva can keep making his next books better and better but he does. And with THE ENGLISH GIRL he is at the top of his craft.

Nice ending, too.
