The Man from St. Petersburg

By: Ken Follett

Narrated by: Richard Armitage

"Ken Follett has done it once more . . . goes down with the ease and impact of a well-prepared martini." —New York Times Book Review

His name was Feliks. He came to London to commit a murder that would change history. A master manipulator, he had many weapons at his command, but against him were ranged the whole of the English police, a brilliant and powerful lord, and the young Winston Churchill himself. These odds would have stopped any man in the world—except the man from St. Petersburg.

Very well done

Good story. dovetails well with its historical setting and world events. Enjoyed it. Follett is gifted.

A great Follett story.

Follett”s high writing standards, including a very tense climax. Wonderfull description of European life in early 1900s. .

Fantastic story!

I loved the characters. The narrator was excellent. The story was complex and intriguing. I didn’t want it to end. The conclusion made me cry but it ended as only it could have. I will be reading more books by Ken Follett.

Another Winner from Follett

In these shorter novels, Follett is often much leas formulaic than he tends to be in the longer epics such as his Kingsbridge series. The narrative is more organic this way.

Riveting

If you’re looking for a story that will grip you from start to finish, look no further. Excellent story telling by a master and performed with perfection by another. Just simply wonderful.
