Devil Darling Spy

Orphan Monster Spy, Book 2

De: Matt Killeen

Narrado por: Lorna Bennett

In this utterly gripping thriller, Sarah, the fearless heroine of indie best seller Orphan Monster Spy, hunts a rogue German doctor in Central Africa who might be a serial murderer.

It’s 1940, and Sarah Goldstein is hiding in plain sight as Ursula Haller, the Shirley Temple of Nazi high society. She helps the resistance by spying on Nazi generals at cocktail parties in Berlin, but she yearns to do more. Then the spy she works for, the Captain, gets word of a German doctor who’s gone rogue in Central Africa. Rumors say the doctor is experimenting with a weapon of germ warfare so deadly it could wipe out entire cities. It’s up to the Captain and Sarah to reach the doctor and seize this weapon - known as “the Bleeding” - before the Nazis can use it to murder thousands. Joining them on their journey, in of the guise of a servant, is Clementine, a half-German, half-Senegalese girl, whose wit and ferocity are a perfect match for Sarah’s. As they travel through the areas now known as the Republic of the Congo and Gabon, Clementine’s astute observations force Sarah to face a hard truth: that mass extermination didn’t start with the Nazis.

This unbearably high-stakes thriller pushes Sarah to face the worst that humanity is capable of - and challenges her to find reasons to keep fighting.

A sensational sequel

The story is solid and brilliant. My only complaint is that some of the narrator’s accents are a bit painful to listen to.

Awful narration

It was bad enough to get jolted out of the story by bad German pronunciation in the first part, but the narrator did a good job otherwise.
This one made me stop five minutes into the story. I just can't listen to it. She alternates between whiny/ petulant or being unwillingly comical when she attempts to be gruff for her male roles. It doesn't help matters that her normal voice is nasal and grating. The German pronunciation? Even worse than in OMS. Waste of a credit.
