De: Andrew Raymond

Narrado por: Toby Longworth

After a devastating political assassination, two journalists stand between the truth and a conspiracy that will shock the world.

Tom Novak and Stella Mitchell are covering the aftermath of a chilling terror attack on the British Prime Minister and the US Secretary of Defense. But the further the American and English duo investigate, the more holes they find in the official version of events.

When they link the attack to a series of suspicious deaths the night before, Novak and Mitchell find themselves the next targets in an extraordinary conspiracy involving the White House, the British government, and a shadowy deep-state organization.

With help from a maverick CIA officer and a whistleblower within British Intelligence, Novak and Mitchell must risk everything to track down the one source who can break their story and expose the shocking truth. On the run for their lives, they will find out just how far those in power are willing to go to preserve their secrets...

An Amazon UK No.1 bestseller for three straight months, Official Secrets is packed with globetrotting action and rollercoaster twists.

Fast moving read

The first few chapters were hard to keep all of the details in line, but then the story took off. Excellent.

Great book!

Exciting and technically correct all the way through. Great narrator keeps a fast pace going. The tough CIA guy has a Southern American accent though--not Mid-Western.

Ending lays way for a sequel with the reveal in court.

Fun and twisted chracters.

looking forward to the next book now that the characters and stage are set!

Exceptional

I enjoyed this book tremendously and will listen to the other installments in the series. This is a complex story with multiple story lines working in concert to create a really gripping and fast paced book. I felt as though I didn’t get a chance to connect with the main characters to any extent, as only a smattering of back story is presented and we don’t get any “inner dialog” from anyone. Although the decision Novak makes at the end of the book does allude to the existence of a morality.
This performance is extremely well done! It’s a real pleasure for me as I’m a listener unwilling to endure horrible narration.

Enjoyed

I’m not a fan of political thrillers, but I really like the author so I thought I would try it. It was very good.
