excellent!

I loved this whole series and Gildart Jackson does a wonderful job narrating. If you like WWII Era spy thrillers then JJ Toners Black Orchestra series is a must read!

Fun spy romp!

Awesome! Fast paced action, interesting characters, fun book. A fun third book. Thank you Mr. Toner!

Worth sticking through book 1 & 2.

I am loving this series. Took some time but cannot wait to start Book 4!

Great WWII Spy Trilogy, book 3

This is third novel in the series and last on Audible. It features Kurt Mueller, the loyal German Officer who betrays his country in order to destroy the Nazis. While each novel stands on its own, reading the series in order is recommended.

The story begins with Mueller and his family living with his mother in Ireland. Actually Kurt's back from a dangerous mission, hoping to acquire leave to see his family. But the successes of his first two missions has all but insured he will be deployed without leave, perhaps to the end of the war. Then he receives a postcard from Hamburg. In order to save his family Kurt goes awol.

The action and suspense is nonstop. What makes it believable is the historical fact that the German Army and police were politically splintered between regular police and army, SS, and Gestapo. Mueller is German and uniquely equipped to manipulate these factions in order to complete his missions.

Wonderfully written and narrated, Postcard From Hamburg is a must read.

Like crunchy Cheetos, you can't do just one

Another thriller . . and another . . and yet another. As I said in a review of Book 2 of the series, this is not for serious Alan Furst/LeCarre readers of WWII espionage, being a cross between James Bond & the Perils of Pauline. It should be titled "The Gestapo, Roadrunner, and Wile E. Coyote meet again and again and again." The books are fun: just suspend your belief at the first page.
