Summary

The life-and-death hunt for a notorious Nazi criminal unfolds against a background of international arms deals. As the story leads to its final dramatic confrontation on a bleak winter's hill-top, the question every reader asked at the end of The Day of the Jackal will inevitably be asked again: Can this be fiction?

Excellent thriller with superb narration

Probably the best audiobook I've listened to ... 5 stars all the way, but a 6th star for the amazing narration.

Good entertainment

Took me a while to get past the narrator, who I initially found a bit annoying, but got into it in the end. Cracking yarn

The Odessa File Review

What made the experience of listening to The Odessa File the most enjoyable?

Being a fan of the book and having read it more times than I can remember, I wasn't sure what to expect from this, but found the story to be as captivating as an Audiobook as the Novel is, A pleasure to listen to in the car, and responsable for me taking the long way to Appointments on more than one occasion to listen to a bit more.
I would deffinatly recommend this to other lovers of a great story

Got to be one of the best books ever

Im struggling to think of a better book as I write this. Its got everything, history, action, suspense, and the narration is unreal - you would never believe Rintoul is Scottish. Wish it wouldn't end
