About this listen

MI6 plan to assassinate the leading maker of IEDs - roadside bombs- as he leaves his house in Iran. But first, they need to know when he is leaving. So it is that Danny 'Badger' Baxter finds himself in Iran, lumbered with a partner he loathes, lying next to a mosquito-infested marsh, observing the house. And knowing that if they are caught, Her Majesty's Government will deny all knowledge of them.

This is a wide ranging tale which necessarily takes time to build with a diverse cast whose roles and backstories are carefully delineated. It’s also a complex situation and Gerald Seymour doesn’t insult his reader’s intelligence by simplifying it too much. So, stick with it, when the story really gets going it’s unstoppable.

Slow burn but worth it

Having grown up near RAF Lyneham, I was intrigued by the blurb. It is a gritty story, reflective of decisions made for the greater good, and just how far collateral damage can reach.

The narrator did an excellent job, but I do have one negative comment. If narrators are to read foreign words, please check pronunciation first! What was written as Marienkirche (church of Maria) became Marine Kirsch, literally translating as "marine cherry". Other mispronunciations are easily borne but, when so badly changing the meaning of what has been said......

Gripping!

Would you listen to A Deniable Death again? Why?

We enjoy books by this author and his way of telling the story, this one dragged on through the middle however it was compelling listening towards the end and you could feel all the human emotions

Any additional comments?

Very good narration

Good but Slow

This kept me hooked throughout. The conflict between the two main protagonists was so well written.

Excellent!

I’m not normally one for police-based novels as procedurally they usually get it wrong. This was well-researched with a credible story, a slick narrator and a solid ending. I speak with authority, having managed CROPS officers in my ‘police’ career. Most enjoyable.

Great read!
