Publisher's summary

Dan Hendricks is a man in need of a lifeline. A former CIA operative, he is now an agent for hire by foreign powers on the hunt for dangerous fugitives. It's a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last - and his next job is his biggest yet.

The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden. But the man was something of an enigma in this rural community, and his death exposes his greatest secret: Jacques Fillon never existed at all.

Dan is tasked with uncovering Fillon's true identity - but can he do so before his own past catches up with him?

Fantastic

The suspense keeps going and I could not stop listen to it until the last sentence! Very good performance of the reader, so calm and precise.

Excellent Story, expertly told

The book is an exciting, action filled story involving the invisible soldiers that defend nations around the world. Then an investigation into a seemingly strange death unveils a huge cover-up. It took an extremely talented narration to capture the action and emotion of A Death in Sweden. Kudos to Will Damron for his entertaining performance.

Much better than I was expecting

Having had a few hours to think about it I guess I would have preferred some of it to turn out slightly different. Overall it was a pretty good action detective story. I don't believe some of the events envisioned could have gone down how they were written, but it's a story and we often don't get, or want, realism in books. I enjoyed it and would listen to another one of his books tomorrow.

Will Damron was really good. Very good pronunciation, like someone who really knows English and bothered to check any he wasn't sure of. If there were any.

Outstanding mystery

I don't write many reviews, but this will always be a favorite. I will listen again with my wife on one of our many road trips to pick up some of the many clues that all come together at the end. Wonderful author and narrator!

A worthy companion for the commute

What did you love best about A Death in Sweden?

The ending. I thought it a was very good way to conclude and tie together the entire story.

What aspect of Will Damron’s performance would you have changed?

I have to say I didn't care for the style. Robotic.

Any additional comments?

It's worth the time... a worthy commuter companion.
