Resumen del Editor

For fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Laurie R. King, and Anne Perry, whip-smart heroine Maggie Hope returns to embark on a clandestine mission behind enemy lines where no one can be trusted, and even the smallest indiscretion can be deadly.

World War II has finally come home to Britain, but it takes more than nightly air raids to rattle intrepid spy and expert code breaker Maggie Hope. After serving as a secret agent to protect Princess Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, Maggie is now an elite member of the Special Operations Executive–a black ops organization designed to aid the British effort abroad–and her first assignment sends her straight into Nazi-controlled Berlin, the very heart of the German war machine. Relying on her quick wit and keen instincts, Maggie infiltrates the highest level of Berlin society, gathering information to pass on to London headquarters. But the secrets she unveils will expose a darker, more dangerous side of the war–and of her own past.

Excellent

I’m really enjoying each book. When I finish one I can’t wait to see what happens next

The story was good

The narrator was awful. Her pauses far to long. I knew where ever period and paragraph was in the book... I enjoy the story and at one point I even found myself jumping a few chapters to satisfy a fear I had and go back to listening..lol..

Very enjoyable!

I almost didn't get this book because of reviews of the narrator and fear of possible torture of the main character in Nazi Germany. Thankfully, I got it and it was excellent. The narrator is just fine and there is no graphic violence in the book. It is very similar to other books in the series as an informative and fascinating look behind the scenes of WWII. I know it's fiction, but the author does a great job of bringing the realities of war in both Germany and Britain to life! I'm so glad I found this series!

Another Great Hope thriller

the narrator's use of different languages and Foreign Accents makes this book even better. You get immersed in the story listening to her. You think it's different voices different characters when it's just the one narrator and she is superb. It adds a depth and a thrill to the story more so than if I actually read it. I love listening to these Maggie hope Mysteries.

Great Series!

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

Love this book series, but I find it easier to listen to during a road trip, I kept getting distracted trying to finish the book at home.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maggie of course! She's determined, resourceful, ingenious -- and lucky

Can't wait for the next Maggie Hope book!

Would you listen to His Majesty's Hope again? Why?

Yes, the story line continues to fascinate and keeps the reader engaged.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maggie is a strong woman dealing with multiple challenges in a time of great uncertainty.

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

No, I truly prefer the previous narrator.

If you could take any character from His Majesty's Hope out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Definitely Maggie, she is witty, complex, and independent.

MacNeal is Awesome!!!

truly enjoying her books, I can't wait to listen to the next one. I've been on the edge of my seat every time I've read one of her books. ❤

Entertaining

What did you like best about this story?

A good addition to the series. Maggie is an interesting character although I found this one a little less suspenseful than the previous books. Still, it's an interesting time and the book does a good job of showing the humanity even in the horrors of World War II.

What three words best describe Susan Duerden’s voice?

She has a good voice and I know she can certainly do convincing characters. I didn't think her voicing of male characters here was very good though. Even the good guys sounded a bit sinister.

Good incite into WWII

Fun to read about a woman spy. Loved it. On to the next. I'm addicted. Maggie also has great difficulty being a spy.

Narrator.She doesnt end sentences & is breathy

Would you consider the audio edition of His Majesty's Hope to be better than the print version?

Yes. The narrator does not complete sentences as one would expect to have a fullstop at the end of a sentence. She draws out the last word of a sentence and seems to be "breathy". I almost stopped listening because of the monotonous narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She was monotonous and boring.

Who was the most memorable character of His Majesty's Hope and why?

Maggie. Heroine

Any additional comments?

A narrator should make you believe that you are watching a movie. This narrator made me want to switch off audible and watch a movie
