About this listen

On a sullen, cloudy July day ten years since 7/7, the happy, confident and optimistic British Prime Minister is visiting a charity in East London. It's just two months after the general election which saw John Campbell's government returned to power with a clear majority, the economy is on the mend and the coalition is fast becoming a bad memory. Suddenly, a man appears out of the crowd and shoots him three times in the chest.

Step forward Alex Cartwright (Andrew Scott), MI5 Chief Counter Terrorism Officer who must find out the truth. But it's easier said than done, as he discovers that whoever ordered the assassination has covered their tracks very well indeed. Along with Ellen Townsend, his trusted second-in-command, Cartwright finds himself embroiled in a race against time which leads him into the murky heart of Westminster... and beyond.

From the pen of renowned screenwriter and novelist M J Arlidge, featuring an established British cast and with an exclusively-composed musical score, Six Degrees of Assassination is truly a thriller not to be missed.

Andrew Scott is absolutely incredible. The entire cast does a stellar job with this international spy thriller. I don’t understand why there haven’t been more ratings… Especially since this is a freebie. People are missing out on an exceptional production. Well done!

Audible should stop requiring a long-form review in order to leave ratings. It only reduces the overall quality of reviews.

Not too original but I felt there were enough twists to make it interesting. Good listen and finding the culprit was worth it.

Pretty cool

The plot moved well and didn’t bog down. Enough twist to keep it interesting without having constant up and downs that would take away from the story.

Good story actors were interesting and plot moved along well.
