The Key to Rebecca

By: Ken Follett

Narrated by: Tim Downie

Ken Follett’s The Key to Rebecca took readers and critics by storm when first published forty years ago. Today, it remains one of the best espionage novels ever written.

A brilliant and ruthless Nazi master agent is on the loose in Cairo. His mission is to send Rommel’s advancing army the secrets that will unlock the city’s doors. In all of Cairo, only two people can stop him. One is a down-on-his-luck English officer no one will listen to. The other is a vulnerable young Jewish girl. . . .

Good thing I decided to try it

As this story grabbed me from the start and never let go! This is the first book I’ve come across that deals with the WWII. It’s long but because you are so quickly involved it doesn’t seem long.

Enjoyable

This story keeps u interested throughout. Full of intrigue.and turns and twist. A fast read.

Great Story

I have read a few of Ken Follet’s books and this one is as good as the others. A great author!

great book

great storytelling and brilliant performance. can't wait to listen to another! Ken Follett is a master writer weaving characters into actual history.

Not Ken Follett's best work

I'm a huge Ken Follett fan, but this story was a bit formulaic for me.
