The Traitor

A Novel

De: Ava Glass

Narrado por: Sophie Colquhoun

British spy Emma Makepeace goes undercover on a Russian oligarch’s superyacht, where she’s one wrong move away from a watery grave, in this electrifying thriller from the author of Alias Emma.

“Delivers everything fans of spy fiction could want: an absorbing plot, shadowy characters, page-gripping tension.”—The Washington Post (Best Books of the Year)

An MI6 operative is found dead, locked in a suitcase inside his own apartment. Despite an exhaustive search, no fingerprints are found at the scene. Emma Makepeace and her handler, Ripley, know an assassination when they see one, and such an obvious murder can mean only one thing: Someone is sending a message.

As she digs into his past, Emma discovers that the unfortunate spy had been investigating two Russian oligarchs based in London. He’d become obsessed with the idea that the two were spies, aided by a third man—whose identity he had yet to uncover. When he shared his findings within MI6 in the weeks before he died, the response came back fast and clear: Drop the investigation and move on. Had he uncovered a secret that cost him his life?

To pick up where he left off without ending up in a suitcase of her own, Emma goes undercover on one of the oligarch’s million-dollar yachts, scheduled to set sail from the Côte d’Azur to Monaco. Under other circumstances, this would be a dream vacation. But if Emma’s real identity gets discovered, it’s a death sentence.

As Emma’s work reveals secrets she’d be safer not knowing, the danger ratchets up. The killer may be closer to home than any of them imagined, and Emma won’t be safe until he—or she—is caught.

Fantastic listen and story

I pre-ordered this when Audible told me it was available to, based on how much I loved the first book, story and narrator. With such a strong first novel I was worried how this one would go, but it is absolutely equal in every way. The author doesn’t rely on salaciousness or gore to sell, but on strong and thrilling writing. Keep this up, folks, and I’ll be buying every one she puts out. The narrator has a smooth and flexible voice, so capable with inflection, nuance, and accent, that I would like all my novels read by her, please.

Loved it!

This book is fast moving and twists at every turn. I couldn’t stop listening until I got to the end.

INCREDIBLE!

Thrill. Suspense. Action. Heart racing.

Firstly, the narrator is beyond words can express. She's an amazingly talented storyteller!

This book can be read as a stand-alone. However, it would make better sense to read "Alias Emma" first. You won't be disappointed, and it's a super fun, easy read. I can't wait til chapter three comes out!!!

Something Different

Enjoyed this entertaining story. Something different than the same ole story. Entertaining without too much blood/gore/sex etc.

Good story and good narration

Emma Makepiece is a great character for future books….. Get the feeling this book(series) is heade for the big screen
