About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue.

A brutal murder, a missing masterpiece, a mystery only Gabriel Allon can solve . . .

Art restorer and legendary spy Gabriel Allon has slipped quietly into London to attend a reception at the Courtauld Gallery celebrating the return of a stolen self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh. But when an old friend from the Devon and Cornwall Police seeks his help with a baffling murder investigation, he finds himself pursuing a powerful and dangerous new adversary.

The victim is Charlotte Blake, a celebrated professor of art history from Oxford who spends her weekends in the same seaside village where Gabriel once lived under an assumed identity. Her murder appears to be the work of a diabolical serial killer who has been terrorizing the Cornish countryside. But there are a number of telltale inconsistencies, including a missing mobile phone. And then there is the mysterious three-letter cypher she left behind on a notepad in her study.

Gabriel soon discovers that Professor Blake was searching for a looted Picasso worth more than a $100 million, and he takes up the chase for the painting as only he can—with six Impressionist canvases forged by his own hand and an unlikely team of operatives that includes a world-famous violinist, a beautiful master thief, and a lethal contract killer turned British spy. The result is a stylish and wildly entertaining mystery that moves at lightning speed from the cliffs of Cornwall to the enchanted island of Corsica and, finally, to a breathtaking climax on the very doorstep of 10 Downing Street.

Supremely elegant and suspenseful, A Death in Cornwall is Daniel Silva at his best—a dazzling tale of murder, power, and insatiable greed that will hold listeners spellbound until they finish listening.

Nothing about the Arab Israeli conflict

Previous books gave insights to the conflict in the mid-east. Nothing to be learned from this book, it is just another murder mystery.

Fast-moving story

I love this series! The characters are like old friends, and it’s interesting to read about their newest adventures. I also like the social commentary, which helps to make me more aware of trends and actions that affect our individual and collective lives.

Fast paced with good twist

As usual, wonderful narration of an exciting Gabriel Allon novel, looking forward to another one.

Home run

Daniel Silva is one of, if not my favorite, authors ever. His writing is superb, and he has learned that (IMHO), character development is the foundation of a great story. The interactions between Gabriel and Chiarra are fantastic. The supporting players are believable and well fleshed out.
I love the fact that, although he is not a large man, Gabriel is extremely tough and willing to put his life on the line for his people and beliefs.
Then there is Edoardo Ballerini, whose voice control is simply superb. He switches between characters with ease and is one of the very best narrators.
I rarely give 5 stars, especially across the board, but it is deserved in this case. I also rarely re-listen to a book, I could start the Gabriel Allon series all over again and love it.

Plot twists

I've read all of Daniel Silva's books and every year I anxiously await his July release. He never disappoints.

Don’t skip Silva’s postscript.

This book is more intellectual than action oriented but with great information about Freeports andin state of the world in and the laundromat in London, don’t miss his description at the end

Daniel Silva never disappoints and the narrative is amazing . I hope there is never another narrator

Gabriel Allon is an iconic figure in the spy genre . What’s interesting is this is the first time he hadn’t called upon his “ team” seeing that he has left the agency . Nothing is lacking at all - amazing

Entertaining, as usual. But….

Another entertaining story. Not a great book. Not nearly as good as some of the earlier books in this series. It also seems like the books have gotten shorter and more politically preachy. Would be nice if Silva would crusade elsewhere and get back to writing good books instead of mildly entertaining summer travel filler.
