His Majesty's Hope

A Maggie Hope Mystery

By: Susan Elia MacNeal

Narrated by: Susan Duerden

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • For fans of Jacqueline Winspear, Laurie R. King, and Anne Perry, whip-smart heroine Maggie Hope returns to embark on a clandestine mission behind enemy lines where no one can be trusted, and even the smallest indiscretion can be deadly.

World War II has finally come home to Britain, but it takes more than nightly air raids to rattle intrepid spy and expert code breaker Maggie Hope. After serving as a secret agent to protect Princess Elizabeth at Windsor Castle, Maggie is now an elite member of the Special Operations Executive—a black ops organization designed to aid the British effort abroad—and her first assignment sends her straight into Nazi-controlled Berlin, the very heart of the German war machine. Relying on her quick wit and keen instincts, Maggie infiltrates the highest level of Berlin society, gathering information to pass on to London headquarters. But the secrets she unveils will expose a darker, more dangerous side of the war—and of her own past.

“You’ll be [Maggie Hope’s] loyal subject, ready to follow her wherever she goes.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Excellent

I’m really enjoying each book. When I finish one I can’t wait to see what happens next

The story was good

The narrator was awful. Her pauses far to long. I knew where ever period and paragraph was in the book... I enjoy the story and at one point I even found myself jumping a few chapters to satisfy a fear I had and go back to listening..lol..

Very enjoyable!

I almost didn't get this book because of reviews of the narrator and fear of possible torture of the main character in Nazi Germany. Thankfully, I got it and it was excellent. The narrator is just fine and there is no graphic violence in the book. It is very similar to other books in the series as an informative and fascinating look behind the scenes of WWII. I know it's fiction, but the author does a great job of bringing the realities of war in both Germany and Britain to life! I'm so glad I found this series!

Another Great Hope thriller

the narrator's use of different languages and Foreign Accents makes this book even better. You get immersed in the story listening to her. You think it's different voices different characters when it's just the one narrator and she is superb. It adds a depth and a thrill to the story more so than if I actually read it. I love listening to these Maggie hope Mysteries.

Great Series!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Love this book series, but I find it easier to listen to during a road trip, I kept getting distracted trying to finish the book at home.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Maggie of course! She's determined, resourceful, ingenious -- and lucky
