About this listen
MI5 officer Liz Carlyle is posted to Northern Ireland. From the moment she lands in Belfast, danger follows. She soon discovers that the peace process in the province is precarious.
Then a source reports strange goings-on at a house on the Irish Sea owned by the Fraternity, an organisation Liz suspects of being a front for renegade former IRA men. Its head is Seamus Piggott, an Irish-American with a gun-running past.
When another informant reports a plot is being hatched against the security forces, Liz and her colleague Dave Armstrong suspect Piggott is involved, along with a former French Intelligence officer.
Moving from London to Belfast to the South of France, the latest Stella Rimington Liz Carlyle novel is a propulsive thriller filled with action and nail-biting suspense.

Too much shouting!!!
Accents were pretty poor french & Irish and the amount of shouting in the book gave me a headache! Story was good needs a better narrator

Great story
Really enjoyed the story line but the narration was wooden and robotic at times which was disappointing

Worth reading
I found Maggie Mash voices irritating. The male voices were dreadful. The Irish accents dreadful. Her choice of voices for the British agents were poor …. One of the agents just spoke very slowly!
Difficult to listen to although the story was interesting.

Terrible narrator
The storyline is as always engrossing, but Maggie Mash is just awful She is poor at any accent other than her own - and there are lots of Irish, French and American accents to master !

Not bad but not good enough to love it
I’ve read (and listened to) a lot in this genre and unfortunately Present Danger is just a bit shallow. I didn’t care enough about the characters to really care who lived or died...primarily because I didn’t feel the writer developed them enough. Therefore there wasn’t a huge level of excitement and build-up which you’d expect in this kind of thriller. I’d expected a lot, given the author’s background, but it just didn’t do it for me.

Good read
Becoming a bit formulaic at book 5 but I like the formula so will read more. Light reading

A good yarn but...
The background to life pre and post Peace talks is thinly covered and the technical aspects of the rescue mission are poorly conceived even for the French! A good yarn but don’t expect reality.

Good but
The story line was a bit weak at the end. Less credible. But the rest was good.

Awful narration
Not a bad story per se and whilst the narrator was OK during the general free flow of the story her efforts at characterisation were so poor as to ruin the book for me. Very poor efforts at dialect, accent, intonation and tempo. I didn’t enjoy the book and that was entirely down to the narration.
