To Die in Vienna

By: Kevin Wignall

Narrated by: George Newbern

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

He’s seen something that could get him killed. But what?

Freddie Makin is a spy for hire. For a year he’s been watching Jiang Cheng, an academic whose life seems suspiciously normal. To Freddie it’s just a job: he never asks who’s paying him and why - until the day someone is sent to kill him, and suddenly the watcher becomes the watched.

On the run from whoever wants him dead, Freddie knows he must have seen something incriminating. The only trouble is, he has no idea what. Is the CIA behind all this - or does it go higher than that? Have his trackers uncovered his own murky past?

As he’s forced into a lethal dance across Vienna, Freddie knows one thing for sure: his only hope for survival is keeping the truth from the other side, and making sure the secrets from his past stay hidden.

I really enjoyed this book.

I was not sure what to expect when I started this book and it seemed a bit low key. But as things were revealed and characters were introduced, and sometimes disposed of, I became more and more addicted. Not an ending I would have guessed.

Nice narration

Good story but the narrator made this that extra special. Decent pace and interesting characters. Really enjoyed it.

Pretty good, but...

This book not as good as Traitor's Story, a Kevin Wignall book I read first. The plot is not nearly as complex. In fact, the plot was a bit thin. Perhaps that is because the book is to be made into a movie.

Otherwise, the story was interesting, as far as it goes. Narrator was fine.

Good thriller

This was a pretty good thriller. I think I missed some things because I was listening to the audiobook and occasionally got distracted. It would definitely be a good book to read.

Wonderful story brought to life by George Newbern

wasn't sure what to expect when I got this book. It looked interesting, but that doesn't always mean it will be good. In this instance, it was great. Occasionally, I take a chance on a book that may be older than others. To Die in Vienna fits that description, and I could not be more pleased with the purchase. Well written with excellent character development and entertaining dialogue that felt real and believable. This book will keep you interested, not just in the story, but the people - I mean characters. The Audible performance by George Newbern was perfect for this story. His pacing and expressions really brought like to the wonderful characters created by author Kevin Wignall.
