In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her." The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and - despite her prosthetic leg - helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.

Amazing story based on historical facts of WWII. The author has done incredible research and the book is written well. I have recommended it already to many people .
I didn’t understand the reason for using a narrator with a British accent. Although I love the accent, I don’t think it served the book well. I got used to it as the story got more interesting.

Don’t waste your money . How is this on audible?
Reviewed: 06-19-21
It will hurt Audible’s reputation tat people can talk for one hour, call it an audiobook and sell it on audible.
The “talk” is obviously about the subconscious mind and how it’s important etc. Then there is a list of a,b, c, d ...that tells you to sit in a calm room, no distractions, don’t fall asleep, then imagine yourself as the person you want to be, use all your senses, ...do this repeatedly and you will attract jobs, people, money, opposite sex, ...and bye!

Great Listen Only Writing This For One Reason

- But Seriously
- By: John McEnroe

completely useless
Reviewed: 08-20-17
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I don't know who can enjoy this book. No story and awful narrating.
Has But Seriously turned you off from other books in this genre?
Almost.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
J Mac is the narrator. Naturally and as a commentator, he is very knowledgeable and charismatic. That's why I bought the book. But JMac doesn't know how to narrate a book. , He is almost shouting and screaming at the listener. Since there is no substance to the book, this becomes really annoying.
What character would you cut from But Seriously?
No one is really useful in this book.
Any additional comments?
I don't recommend this book. Not all tennis players are meant to be writers.
