Publisher's Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Our Friends in Berlin by Anthony Quinn, read by David Rintoul.

London, 1941. The city is in blackout, besieged by nightly air raids from Germany. Two strangers are about to meet. Between them they may alter the course of the war.

While the Blitz has united the nation, there is an enemy hiding in plain sight. A group of British citizens is gathering secret information to aid Hitler’s war machine. Jack Hoste has become entangled in this treachery, but he also has a particular mission: to locate the most dangerous Nazi agent in the country.

Hoste soon receives a promising lead. Amy Strallen, who works in a Mayfair marriage bureau, was once close to this elusive figure. Her life is a world away from the machinations of Nazi sympathisers, yet when Hoste pays a visit to Amy’s office, everything changes in a heartbeat.

Breathtakingly tense and trip-wired with surprises, Our Friends in Berlin is inspired by true events. It is a story about deception and loyalty - and about people in love who watch each other as closely as spies.

Dull

The main protagonist is supposed to be a dull, reserved person, so that provides a challenge for the author. The story is ho-hum and predictable. Set before, during and after WWII there are lots of clunky references to real events and people to add verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative. The narrator does his best but it would take an Olivier to breathe any life into the story.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
