About this listen
Find the truth; risk everything. A gripping WWII spy novel full of intrigue and peril from a modern master.
1942: a German spy comes ashore on a desolate stretch of Lincolnshire beach. But he is hunted down by a young detective, Richard Prince. The secret services have need of a man like him....
In occupied Europe, Denmark is a hotbed of problems for British intelligence. Rumours of a war-ending weapon being developed by the Germans are rife. Sent to Copenhagen, Prince is soon caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Dodging Gestapo agents, SS muscle and the danger of betrayal, his survival - and the war effort - hangs in the balance.
Gripping and intense, Prince of Spies is the first in a new espionage series that will delight fans of Alan Furst, Philip Kerr and John le Carré.

Dull narration
The story is ok….not hugely thrilling and a little far-fetched, but I did feel compelled to finish it…the narration is pretty poor and lacking in variety and excitement. I don’t think I’ll be bothering with any more titles by this author…perhaps if it was narrated by Jonathan Keeble I might be thinking differently??

Great story
As usual Alex Gerlis has produced a compelling story, very well researched. I did find the narration rather lumpy and often unconvincing.

Weird Narration
Really liked the story, but the narration was very distracting. The odd cadence and often strange intonation made me think that this was a text-to-speech app rather than a human reading.

great story
apart from a dodgy narration and sections that flowed too abruptly the story was excellent. Genuinely sad when secondary characters got caught and felt empathy for the main characters. Excited to try the next in the series.

so much going on to keep you interested
love the complexity, twists and turns, the detailed descriptions, a little history, tiny bit of romance.

Quite good
Entertaining and compelling story. It's a bit far fetched in some ways but it's not a history book.

Great story, but...
The narration leaves a bit to be desired. The narrator needs to learn how some names are pronounced - like Ciaus (as in the College). The correct pronunciation is "Keys". It took me several minutes to figure it out. There were a few other issues where a place name was wrong, but in general a very good offering.

Good story, shame no emotion
Like other reviewers, I felt compelled to listen to the end, even though narration is poor. It is so robotic, I even checked whether it was indeed a human and not AI. I have the sense that the narrator has chosen a slow enough speed at which to go that ensures he doesn’t need to pre-read. The outcome of which was as much emotion as a fish might show. That said, Prince himself is poorly written as well. Shan’t be continuing. Shame. I like some other Gerlis and had high hopes.

A bit boys own adventure. .. but easy and addictive listening.
Reasonably straightforward goodies versus baddies. But the description of the ins and outs of the ww2. Spy business interesting. Good character definition and I cared about all the main characters. Definitely give it a go. I’m going to try the rest of the series. Happy reading.
