Puppet on a Chain

By: Alistair MacLean

Narrated by: Jonathan Oliver

From the acclaimed master of action and suspense. The all time classic.

Paul Sherman of Interpol's Narcotics Bureau flies to Amsterdam on the trail of a dope king.

With enormous skill the atmosphere is built up: Amsterdam with its canals and high houses; stolid police; psychopaths; women in distress and above all – murder.

Critic reviews

'With this book Alistair MacLean will make another killing' Sunday Mirror

great story, great plot, lots of action. Could no

great story, plot, and lots of action. I could not put it down. Then I listened to it in the car.

Wow...Classic cops and Psycho Bad Guys Stuff.

Very Entertaining. Highly recommended if you like a Great Crime Story with an old English vibe.

Alistair MacLean Never Ages

What did you love best about Puppet on a Chain?

The story was great, classic MacLean, and Oliver's narration was spot on.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes

What does Jonathan Oliver bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He does a great job of pulling the reader into the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

tragic

I'm always delighted to read or listen to one of Alistair Maclean's books... but this one is not one of my absolute favorite books. Too much death and macabre happenings to be as fun as most of his books. Still, excellent writing and excellent audio narration.

Creative Use of Characters

Amazingly well defined characters whose importance in the story are held to the very end.
Again, brilliantly done.
