Summary
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.

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.

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.

Narrator unable to do regional accents
The scots and irish accents were aweful, he would have been better not to attempt. Didn't anyone "proof listen" to this before it was put in the library. Will avoid this narrator in future!

Story not bad - narration terrible!
I had to look the narrator up - I thought it was some kind of AI robot!

Good story dull narration
I enjoyed the story but struggled with the dullness of the narration. Repetitive odd cadence and poor vocal range made it nearly monotonous. A shame as story deserved better.
