World War II comes to Farleigh Place, the ancestral home of Lord Westerham and his five daughters, when a soldier with a failed parachute falls to his death on the estate. After his uniform and possessions raise suspicions, MI5 operative and family friend Ben Cresswell is covertly tasked with determining if the man is a German spy. The assignment also offers Ben the chance to be near Lord Westerham's middle daughter, Pamela, whom he furtively loves. But Pamela has her own secret: She has taken a job at Bletchley Park, the British code-breaking facility.
As Ben follows a trail of spies and traitors, which may include another member of Pamela's family, he discovers that some within the realm have an appalling, history-altering agenda. Can he, with Pamela's help, stop them before England falls?
Inspired by the events and people of World War II, writer Rhys Bowen crafts a sweeping and riveting saga of class, family, love, and betrayal.

I listened to the audiobook and immediately got turned off by Gemma Dawson's narration. I hate when an author's work is negatively impacted by a poor narrator. Eventually I came to accept it (other than not finishing what was I to do?) and let the book speak (!) for itself.
I found this got better as it went along. It was a bit too full of cliches for my liking and the uses of "thinking outside the box" seemed out of context for the time period. But it was an enjoyable book and the characters were easy to like. MI5, Bletchley Park, stately homes, war heroes - what's not to like!
As I finished this I was thinking that there are many characters whose stories we need to follow. It seems Rhys has a new series in the works. At least I hope so.
I see a new series in the works

Would you try another book from Rhys Bowen and/or Gemma Dawson?
I'd have to really think about that one!How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Given the characters more depth, they were very cardboardish (new word I just made up.)Would you listen to another book narrated by Gemma Dawson?
Not a fair question for her, considering the way I feel about this book.Was In Farleigh Field worth the listening time?
NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!Any additional comments?
This was compared to "The Nightingale." Because of that I immediately downloaded it and read it. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR 💲💲💲!FARLEIGH FIELD (YAWN)
