About this listen
When historian Fluke Kelso learns of the existence of a secret notebook belonging to Josef Stalin he is determined to track it down, whatever the consequences. From the violent political intrigue and decadence of modern Moscow he heads north - to the vast forests surrounding the White Sea port of Archangel, and a terrifying encounter with Russia's unburied past.

Superb narration
another great book from Robert Harris, his typical combination of a great story mixed with a bit of a history lesson. Some books have more historical context, in this one the history just provided a broad framework for a fictionalised story.
Michael Kitchen's narration was so good that I've started my next listed based on searching for the the narrator rather than the author

Not usually my genre, but thoroughly enjoyed
I do not usually read this genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the start I was not sure of the narrator, but I soon started appreciating his skills. Good overall and highly recommendable

Enjoyed …but not as much as previous Robert Harris before is
RH sets a high bar - I did enjoy Archangel but not as much say, Act of Oblivion.
The narrator took a bit of getting used to - if you have watched Foyles War you’ll know how Foyle runs his sentences into one another, seemingly pausing when he runs out and of breath. And his intonation almost sounded bored at times - and the pace rushed.

Not the best
Quite heavy going, a bit predictable. Maybe a bit more historical context would make it an easier listen.

Excellent
The headline says it all, not quite alternative history but close enough, throwbacks to Stalin's time quite chilling

Clumsy sound editing
Great book. Very good performance but the
sound editing and ‘drop-ins’ were very clumsy. Try to record the stories in the same studio

Great story, terrible production
I really enjoyed the story but the volume levels on the audible version wildly fluctuate in places. One moment it'll be too quiet to make out a word, then after you turn up the volume to hear properly it blows out your eardrums.

Superb
I love RH and Archangel is up there with his best. But that’s no surprise. What is a surprise is the narrator - MK has created the best audiobook I ever heard. Bravo sir 👏🏻

It was probably me.
The third Robert Harris kindle/audio I have read this holiday. The other two were brilliant. I struggled with this one, not least that the political landscape in Russia has changed from when the book was first published and it was hard to reconcile Russia today with the old Russia.
