About this listen

It's 1942, and as far as her father knows, Evelyn Bishop, heiress to an aeronautics fortune, is working as a translator in London. In truth, Evelyn—daring, beautiful, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages—has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another, she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher, growing ever close to him until the war's end brings with it an act of deep betrayal.

Six years later, Evelyn is back home in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator. The war was supposed to change everything, yet Evelyn, contemplating marriage to her childhood sweetheart, feels stifled by convention. Then the suspected cheating husband she's tailing is murdered, and suddenly Evelyn is back in Nick's orbit again.

Teaming up for a final mission, Evelyn and Nick begin to uncover the true nature of her case—and realize that the war has followed them home. For beyond the public horrors waged by nations there are countless secret, desperate acts that still reverberate on both continents, and threaten everything Evelyn holds dear....

Homage to 1930’s noir

Pretty decent story, with a few implausible storylines. But the narrator ruined a good story. Absolutely annoying voice for the main character and not much variation for the others. She sounded like she was doing an impression of Americans by someone who is not from the US. Very nasal.

Don’t waste your time

Even at $2.00 I could not manage to like much about this book. The dialogue was trite and tedious. The characters were cardboard cut-outs. I knew how it was going to end before I’d listened for two hours. At one point, I was shouting at two of the main characters to shut the heck up, because they were acting like five-year-olds. Worst of all, it turns out to be a romance rather than a mystery. It even had a love triangle, and when the three of them all met each other for the first time (the lynchpin being the main, female character) the two “suitors” started peeing on each other’s legs like a couple of dogs (metaphorically speaking) in the presence of a female in heat. That was the last straw. If you like predictable romance novels, this one’s for you. But it wasn’t even a very good mystery.

Dreadful dialog.

The author thought she was writing smart, flirty interaction between her characters but it's just dreadful dialog. Good thing I paid almost nothing for the audiobook.

Short, engaging, and fun mystery!

I liked the story and the performance a lot. The story was engaging and fun and the voice actor did a fantastic job!

Narration terrible and triy weak

Don't bother with this one. Not very much happening. Could have been epic, but misses the mark and not very interesting. The narration is the nail in the coffin. Sounds like a fake 1930's news anchor at times. ugh

Same old theme, snarky narrator

Really disappointed. Could barely listen to the end. No imagination. Don’t waste your time on this one

Not worth the time…

Immature writing. Story lacks believability and characters voices are almost ridiculous. Reading was weak and melodramatic.
