Summary
When historian Fluke Kelso learns of the existence of a secret notebook belonging to Josef Stalin he is determined to track it down, whatever the consequences. From the violent political intrigue and decadence of modern Moscow he heads north - to the vast forests surrounding the White Sea port of Archangel, and a terrifying encounter with Russia's unburied past.

Not usually my genre, but thoroughly enjoyed
I do not usually read this genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. At the start I was not sure of the narrator, but I soon started appreciating his skills. Good overall and highly recommendable

Enjoyed …but not as much as previous Robert Harris before is
RH sets a high bar - I did enjoy Archangel but not as much say, Act of Oblivion.
The narrator took a bit of getting used to - if you have watched Foyles War you’ll know how Foyle runs his sentences into one another, seemingly pausing when he runs out and of breath. And his intonation almost sounded bored at times - and the pace rushed.

Excellent
The headline says it all, not quite alternative history but close enough, throwbacks to Stalin's time quite chilling

Clumsy sound editing
Great book. Very good performance but the
sound editing and ‘drop-ins’ were very clumsy. Try to record the stories in the same studio

Great story, terrible production
I really enjoyed the story but the volume levels on the audible version wildly fluctuate in places. One moment it'll be too quiet to make out a word, then after you turn up the volume to hear properly it blows out your eardrums.

Superb
I love RH and Archangel is up there with his best. But that’s no surprise. What is a surprise is the narrator - MK has created the best audiobook I ever heard. Bravo sir 👏🏻

Enthralling, gripping and exciting
Where does Archangel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is one of the best.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Kelso - because he was multifaceted and actually to be pitied a lot of the time.
Which character – as performed by Michael Kitchen – was your favourite?
Stalin's son but also Papu Rapava
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I don't think it is a book that would make a listener/reader laugh or cry but it certainly made me think about the horrors of old Russia and the terrible times the country has gone through and of course it made me sorry for all of the women in the novel who each had a personal tragedy.
Any additional comments?
We really enjoyed this and Michael Kitchen was a super choice for narrator.

Harris & Kitchen
Harris doesn’t disappoint - does he ever? Up there, perhaps better than ‘Munich’ or ‘Conclave’.
I’m a fan of Michael Kitchen - not only for his ‘Christopher Foyle’. He handles the characters with great skill & his timing is perfect. Terrific. Enthralling.

Harris at his best
I fully enjoyed this trip behind the Iron Curtain. Well passed, written and presented. It is up there with Robert Harris's best works
