Ken Follett’s The Key to Rebecca took fans and critics by storm when first published 40 years ago. Today, it remains one of the best espionage novels ever written.

A brilliant and ruthless Nazi master agent is on the loose in Cairo. His mission is to send Rommel’s advancing army the secrets that will unlock the city’s doors. In all of Cairo, only two people can stop him. One is a down-on-his-luck English officer no one will listen to. The other is a vulnerable young Jewish girl....

As this story grabbed me from the start and never let go! This is the first book I’ve come across that deals with the WWII. It’s long but because you are so quickly involved it doesn’t seem long.

Good thing I decided to try it

I love Ken Follett’s books, and this one was no exception. It was exciting and so interesting and informative. The only complaint I ever have of Follett’s books is the explicit sexual content. I thought this one was worse in this regard than any of the others I’ve listened to. It’s unfortunate, as I think it’s unnecessary and really adds little—and even detracts—from the book. Be aware before you purchase if you are sensitive to this.

Too much explicit sex
