The Second World War rages on, but Britain now faces the Nazi threat with America at its side.
In a bombed-out London swarming with gangsters and spies, DCI Frank Merlin continues his battle against rampant wartime crime. A mangled body is found in the Thames just as some items of priceless art go mysteriously missing. What sinister connection links the two?
Merlin and his team follow a twisting trail of secrets and lies as they investigate a baffling and deadly puzzle.

Sadly the last one for now othe Merlin series has been outstanding. Story, characters, plot all of the highest standards. Matt Addis narration the best on audible.

Epic audiobook
This book isn't for the impatient, it is very long at over 12 hours and quite slowly paced. But having said that it is an engrossing listen.
I loved the way that wartime London is so well evoked, the story and narration really make you feel as though you have travelled back in time to this period.
The plot is multi-layered and satisfying, if you are prepared to overlook the slow pace and the way that the different plot lines eventually come together.
The narration is excellent and I loved the way that the different characters are portrayed, it is easy to listen to as each character is distinct and easy to distinguish.
One of the best mystery audio books that I have listened to.

Absolutely brilliant.
An excellent book with an excellent reader. I have brought all of these books and found them all compelling listening. I do hope there will be some more of the same calibre.

A good man doing a good job in wartime.
Mark Ellis a total sadist and that’s all I can say without spoilers! Another great episode in the series though. I love that Merlin is basically a happy man doing a good job. No alcoholism or infidelity just professional. I love a flawed hero but sometimes a relatively unflawed one is a breath of fresh air.

Turgid, for WW2 enthusiasts only
There is a great deal of detail about WW2 forced into this, to the detriment of the plot. The writing is quite wooden, as, to some extent, is the reading. I am afraid I gave up after the first half of the download.
