Summary
He stared at the unfamiliar watch on his wrist. Three hours ago, he had stood on English soil. Three hours ago, he had been Martin Hearne, British Intelligence agent. Now he was in Nazi-occupied Brittany, posing as Bertrand Corlay, with the Frenchman’s life reduced to headings in his memory.
Hearne looked down at the faded uniform, which had once been Corlay’s, felt once more for the papers in the inside pocket. He was ready. From now on, he was one step away from death....
The Queen of Spy Writers returns in a stunning series collecting all of her greatest works! Titan kicks off with Assignment in Brittany, the gripping tale of an undercover operative deep in Nazi-occupied France.

Famous old author but a bit dated
Not keen on the reader. He doesn’t deal well with all the voice changes, especially women.

the story
How the narrator made the characters come to life, made one feel you were there with them

surprisingly tedious
I'd hoped for an interesting story from a well recommended author but it proved to be slow and tedious- so much so that I gave up before the end. For such an interesting period in history the story felt laboured and the charcters hard to engage with. .Each to their own I suppose

Disappointing
The story was clunky and somehow quite dated. Characterisation was flat.
The narration was very poor indeed. Accents were dreadful - embarrassing. The attempt at a character speaking with a lisp was excruciating.

The story may be good, but not the narrator
The narrator’s Scottish accent was the most awful I have ever heard but I persevered. Then the first Yorkshire accent (bad) and then the second Yorkshire accent (worse). Then the attempt to be an Englishman pretending to be a Frenchman speaking English with a French accent. I gave up and returned the book.
