Summary
Europe is still littered with the darkest secrets of the Cold War. And the most deadly revelation of them all is about to be made…Hard-up Russia expert Dr Sam Gaddis finally has a lead for a book that could set his career back on track. He has staggering new information about an unknown sixth member of the infamous Cambridge spy ring – a man who has evaded detection for his entire life.
But when his source suddenly dies, Gaddis is left with just shreds of his investigation, and no idea that he is already in too deep. He is threatened, betrayed, hunted – and alone. To get his life back, he must scour a continent still laced with lies to find the truth behind the Trinity Six.
Both Moscow and MI6 will use everything in their power to keep their fragile peace intact. But why murder people to hide secrets that should by now be history? Gaddis starts to understand – far too late – that he is closing in on a discovery that will shake Europe to its foundations…

Enthralling
This is a good spy novel. The protagonist is not a spy and makes all sorts of errors that both put him in the way of and keep him out of danger. It’s really well written and read. I was gripped.

Enjoyable but ...
I enjoyed listening to The Trinity Six. The book is well constructed and very well read by Jot Davies. The problem for any author writing spy stories is that he will inevitably be compared to John le Carré. But if Charles Cumming does not quite match up to the supreme master of the genre he is still well worth reading (or listening to in this case) by those who enjoy espionage fiction.

great story, really well read
Having read a couple of spy thrillers recently, and struggled to be engaged by them, I wasn't sure what to expect from this. I really enjoyed it. Complex but robust plotting, great characterisation, and extremely well read, I highly recommend it.

History Mystery!
Pretty good. Dependent on stupid protagonist a little too much. Sam Gaddis I'm looking at you!

Great narration, good story
What made the experience of listening to The Trinity Six the most enjoyable?
Jot Davies' narration is wonderful. But it is a very good book - taking the reader from everyday backdrops to Moscow, Berlin and further... Typical spy stuff!
What other book might you compare The Trinity Six to, and why?
To Mr Cummings' Thomas Kell books
What does Jot Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He adds great life to the characters. Wonderful accents, beautifully perfomed
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not particularly. The book is a touch overlong. And some of the passages - for example when the action moves to Moscow - don't ring true. The main character zips about all over the place. Which is nice - but not that believable.
Any additional comments?
This isn't quite as good as the Thomas Kell books. But is a very diverting read - or listen. Lots of nice asides. Funny. Dramatic. A couple of strong characters nicely described. But a touch too long and a little convoluted.

Knowledge can be deadly
This is a book that looks back at the cold war and recreates some of the atmosphere of fear and treachery that the west and the Soviet block instituted, it also revives how much of that shadow still is with us. By presenting us with a very recognisable master spy from the east that still holds power and demands that old soviet love of exercising fear as a form of respect.
A good plot that explores the old history while creating a new myth that that straddles our real world with suppositions and innuendo of a politician that is in power still and will be recognised by all that read the papers.
Fast moving but not tortuous in its complexity, I would say extremely easy to follow for a spy novel, with lots of twists and threats and a few moments of low level violence when compared to most modern thrillers.
If you are looking for a good thriller this is very good, as a start to Charles Cumming spy stories.
