Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Nightfall Berlin by Jack Grimwood, read by Daniel Weyman.
In 1986, news that East-West nuclear-arms negotiations are taking place lead many to believe the Cold War may finally be thawing.
For British intelligence officer Major Tom Fox, however, it is business as usual.
Ordered to arrange the smooth repatriation of a defector, Fox is smuggled into East Berlin. But it soon becomes clear that there is more to this than an old man wishing to return home to die - a fact cruelly confirmed when Fox's mission is fatally compromised.
Trapped in East Berlin, hunted by an army of Stasi agents and wanted for murder by those on both sides of the Wall, Fox must somehow elude capture and get out alive.
But to do so he must discover who sabotaged his mission and why....

too complex
very difficult to follows the many sub plots. Also too much detail about incidental characters. The final scenes are totally unbelievable

The filth of international politics
Featuring a thinly veiled portrayal of Lord Mountbatten and others, this isn’t an easy to read spy romp despite shoot outs and spy craft but it still rattled along. The ex-ballerina, ex-sniper modern elder of all talents is rapidly becoming my favourite character!

I hope there are more books by this author
I really enjoyed this book, I thought the idea was an original twist on the usual spy stories

Still trying to unravel the story
First Jack Grimwood book for me and got it because Daniel Weyman is such a good narrator. He did his best with material that isn’t up to his usual standard. It may be one of those stories that is better on the page than read aloud. I found it hard to follow and slightly tedious, as well as simply unbelievable in places.
The story moves back and forth to different locations and time frames with virtually no explanation. I think the author is trying to do a spot of Le Carré’s enigmatic prose but it just doesn’t come off. Don’t think I’ll bother with any other of his books.

Different from many spy stories, well constructed
Thoroughly enjoyable book. Several different narratives skillfully woven together. The final scene stretches credulity but that's forgivable in this genre.
The book is well narrated with just the right amount of expression (ie not too much!)

Awesome second book. Daniel Weyman is 10/10
At the end of the Moskva (book 1), Major Fox's investigation opened up a story/crimes that both East and west would like to forget, so the PM at Major Fox's father in laws suggestion is sent to bring home a traitor. But no one and nothing is as it seems. Only his friends in Moscow have the power to help save him and his family. However they too have as much too loose and it maybe that the death of an English spy and his Son is a price they might not see as too high. Truly awesome follow up and Daniel Weyman if not the very best Narrator audible has ever had... Is definately up there with the greats, such as Scott Brick and Jeff Harding, don't loose him ever!

A good listen
Covers the usual ground in this genre so if it's your bag you'll like it. Touches on some lesser known issues following the end of WWII and the realities for the many orphaned children.

one of the best books I've read...
...in a good long time. Great characters, espionage and fact based history with a fine plot. Ended a little swiftly but you can't have everything I guess...
