About this listen

On a sullen July day, ten years on from the terrorist attacks of 7/7, a confident and optimistic British Prime Minister is attending a charity engagement in the East End of London. Suddenly, a man appears from the crowd and shoots him three times in the chest.

So starts this sensational thriller from best-selling novelist and screenwriter, M J Arlidge (BBC's Prime Suspect, the DI Helen Grace novels).

Really enjoyed the first episode. The performance was so good you could imagine it was actually happening and you had a bird's-eye view . Looking forward to the continuation.

Sam Goldwyn once said you should start with a earthquake and build to a climax.
The political thriller here does just this. It races off from the start and never let's up for a second. I just could not wait for the next episode.

Yes it is littered with cliches but who cares. And the characters were a little thin - but what a page turner. It won't be on any erudite shelf but for entertainment it is 100%.
It is wonderfully acted and great production (just a tad too much background throbbing music?).

I listened to Audible when I run. This free book got me out running everyday. Loved every moment _ more please audible.

loved it !

I started not sure if I would like this type of audio book and I loved it. Great performance for all the narrators, the voices went so well with the image in my mind and the story really surprised me to the end. Definitely a recommendation from me

I will surely get more of MJ Arlidge and thanks to the Narrators also

Interesting

Good pacy Story with plenty of twists and turns. But A Cliche ridden script And a lot of wooden performances. Good production values

Hard to get beyond the poor script

Great actors, a brilliant story and more twists and turns than a bowl of spaghetti. Brilliant, I hope there's more like this to come

An addictive and thrilling listen
