About this listen

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....

Good thing I decided to try it

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.

Not Ken Follett's best work

I'm a huge Ken Follett fan, but this story was a bit formulaic for me.

Hard to put down

A definite page turner. Kept me on the edge of my seat many times and I’m sad to see it finally over. Another great success by Me. Follett.

Tim Downie did a FANTASTIC job keeping me interested in the story! I usually don't listen to spy novels but really enjoyed this one.
