Publisher's summary

Tightly written thrillers like The Marching Season have made best-selling novelist Daniel Silva a favorite of readers everywhere. In The Kill Artist, he paints an absorbing portrait of a reluctant hero’s attempt to thwart an old enemy to preserve a precarious peace.

After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration. But when Tariq al-Hourani, the Palestinian terrorist responsible for his family’s death, begins a killing spree designed to destroy Middle East peace talks, Gabriel once again slips into the shadowy world of international intrigue. In a global game of hide-and-seek, the motives of Gabriel and Tariq soon become more personal than political.

Filled with vivid action and a fascinating cast of supporting characters, The Kill Artist delivers pulse-pounding suspense, carried to a startling climax by the tension-packed narration of George Guidall.

I love Gabriel Allon!

Daniel Silva and George Guidall are a winning combination!! Gabriel Allon kicks butt and I cannot get enough!

twisty plot. interesting characters.

the plot twisted and turned. interesting characters operate on their own needs. the performance is magnificent. I'd listen to the reader if he'd read the phone book.

Love Gabriel Allon.

Always love Gabriel Allon. Especially the narration by George Guidall which brings him to life. His tone, his actions, his thoughts. Nothing is wasted in what Allon does with regards to what he needs to accomplish. Always exciting books. Highly recommend.

Great story!

George Guidall does a masterful job with this wonderful, exciting story.
Daniel Silva shows his knowledge of the world very few of us ever see, much less realize that it exists.

Interesting but not a Page Turner

This book kept my interest enough to listen all the way through. I kept expecting it to become compelling, and it rarely did in my opinion. The characters were well developed, but I felt like there was more time spent describing characters and setting than on the storyline.
I’m a fan of quick witted and cool spy characters, and it’s possible that I was expecting someone that the author never intended to deliver. It seemed well written and researched, but
it was a little slow for my taste.

ending spoiled it

ok book. not a fantastic storyline, but not bad. lots of buildup up to a fantastically anti-climatic climatic ending. image if Rudy @ Notre Dame had made it on the field for one play and was then benched. no one picks him up and carries him around. but he made it. narrator was good.

Political views distracting

Good audio, interesting plot, but it’s hard to focus on the story bc of blatant political rhetoric.

Excellent Read!

I list listened to this book for a second time over the last few years. It was just as exhilarating as the first time. Daniel Silva held my attention from beginning to end. And the reader was perfect. I hope he reads all of the sequel books!

The kill artists
