Summary
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his latest action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue featuring the inimitable Gabriel Allon.
She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and charitable works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England. When a bomb explodes aboard her holiday yacht, British intelligence turns to one man to track down her killer: legendary spy and assassin Gabriel Allon.
Gabriel’s target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who sells his services to the highest bidder. Fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone; at his side is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows Quinn’s murderous handiwork all too well.
And though Gabriel does not realize it, he is stalking an old enemy—a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will find it necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its distinct advantages….

Not bad, a little turgid.
Not bad but the endless, seemingly irrelevant conversations between new characters meant the plot had a glacial pace. It took several goes and several books in between to finish.

Dreadful narration
The narration in this book was dreadful, it was hard to distinguish who was speaking because they all basically sounded the same regardless of which country they were from. Having an American trying to speak in an English or Irish accent is a big mistake. It made it very difficult to follow who was speaking and I had to persevere to get to the end.

Excellent thriller
One of the best I have read by Daniel Silva. Generous in size and yet always fast paced.

Great audiobook
This is the first Daniel Silva novel I've bought but loved it and it will not be the last. George Guidall deserves a mention as was a good narrator too.

I loved it
