Palace of Treason

By: Jason Matthews

Narrated by: Jennifer Vuletic

Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service (SVR) has returned from the West to Moscow. She despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, crooks, and thugs of Putin’s Russia. What no one knows is that Dominika is working for the CIA as Washington’s most sensitive penetration of SVR and the Kremlin.

As she expertly dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss; survives an Iranian assassination attempt; escapes a counterintelligence ambush; rescues an arrested agent and exfiltrates him out of Russia; and has a chilling midnight conversation in her nightgown with President Putin. Complicating these risks is the fact that Dominika is in love with her CIA handler, Nate Nash, and their lust is as dangerous as committing espionage in Moscow. And when a mole in the SVR finds Dominika’s name on a restricted list of sources, it is a virtual death sentence....

Critic reviews

"An insider’s insider...and a masterful storyteller." (Vince Flynn)

Greeat story BUT ...

l loved the story with its strands of plot around different characters. There was plenty of suspense as l felt there was no guarantee that the "good guys" would win nor all of their characters survive.

Far more realistic and credible than many books in its genre and highly recommended with ONE EXCEPTION.

I found the narratir's attempt to change her voice to represent different characters not just bad but appalling. For the early stages of the book l found it a big turnoff which made me angry as in "how the hell did she get this job?"

But the compelling storyline kept me there and while her character portrayal never improved l generally became desensitized to it.

Great storyline

This was a great follow on to Red Sparrow, but the author was not good at all. This was my 2nd time listening to this series and still struggled with the author.

couldn't put it down

wonderfully superbly gripping!
Thank You Jennifer for bringing the characters to life! good job girl!

Brilliant brilliant brilliant

An outstanding espionage novel. A superb storyline & an enthralling telling by narrator Jennifer Vuletic, one of the best female narrators I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to. She gives authentic life to a fabulous story. I cannot recommend this novel enough.. 10/10

Please!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave out the recipes!

It would have been five stars all round; but the recipes became one of the most annoying parts of a book that I have ever experienced, so much so that I had to knock of a star for each category.
