Fast paced, well -written thriller

The pacing, right out of the gate, pulls you into action and intrigue and doesn't slow down. I feel like the author could've written an entire series about the FMC's past, whereas we only get the highlights reel... but that keeps the pace quick and punchy.
The ending couldn't used some work, slightly anticlimactic, but not bad at all.
I would love to read more about these characters in future books.

Action packed thriller

A Child of Szabo by M.J. Webb is a wonderful fast-paced action packed thriller. Charles Robert Fox did an excellent job with the narration. The story is action packed, entertaining, engaging, interesting, suspenseful, thrilling, fast paced, tragic, adventure, and enigmatic. A troubled teenage is recruited into a secret organization and is trained to be assassin, spy, bodyguard and more. The organization was created by Winston Churchill, it clandestinely operates. Who is the head of the organization now? Why is it still operating? Is the organization actually helping the government? Find out the answer. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.

Full of Intrigue

Child of Szabo pulls you in with its dark mystery and keeps you turning pages with tension that never quite lets you breathe. M. J. Webb creates an eerie, immersive world where danger feels close, secrets linger in every shadow, and the characters are driven by motives you can’t fully untangle until the very end.

What impressed me most is how balanced the story feels — part thriller, part supernatural mystery, part character journey. The pacing is sharp, the stakes grow steadily, and the sense of unease is crafted so well that you’re hooked before you realize it.

Excellent

Very well done book. Very enjoyable, definitely recommend this book. Love the adventure and mystery feeling. Overall excellent book to listen to.

Action, action, action...

A Child of Szabo is a fast-paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. With near-constant action and a heroine you can’t help but root for, the story pulls you in right from the start. The narration was solid, capturing the tone and intensity of the plot perfectly and helping to bring the entire experience to life. I especially enjoyed the ending—it was satisfying, well-executed, and a strong finish to an action-packed story.
