By: Sulari Gentill

Narrated by: Rupert Degas

After narrowly escaping Nazi terror, Rowland Sinclair and his companions land in London, believing they are safe. But they are wrong.

Critic reviews

"There's an Evelyn-Waugh-meets-Agatha-Christie feel about this series." ( The Age)

It was bound to happen

While I still absolutely love this series, and cannot wait to devour the next book, for the first time I feel compelled to downgrade the story from 5 stars to 4 ... I saw the writing on the wall from previous reviewers but fought for so long against jumping on the band wagon, hoping against hope that a change in course was just around the corner. Alas, I was mistaken. We get it. Edna is the most beautiful, intelligent, charming, brave, intriguing and gosh darn perfect, creature on the planet. Rowland would do/does everything and anything for her, but will never, ever HAVE her. Again, we get it. But at a certain point it is too painful to witness this, especially in conjunction with the introduction of one female character after another who is (at best) handsome, but always dumb as a box of rocks, socially inept, weak, boring and the worst crime of all, not Edna! Stop this already!! But please keep up reminding us of the harrowing history from 1933 Germany, England & Australia, It is relevant, ringing so many warning bells with current events.

Wonderful book

After the disappointing preceding book in the series, this brings it back to the standard set in earlier volumes. Wonderful for characters and story, brilliantly performed.

My favorite yet!

I am either getting more familiar with the boys' sense of humor, or they are getting funnier. This exceptionally performed book had me gasping in shock and laughter.
