Summary
Winner of an AudioFile “Earphones” Award
Nazi. Fugitive. Murderer. Sadist. Who is the real Hans Schreiber? Two journalists conduct a desperate quest to reveal the real Schreiber in this time-jumping, harrowing thriller about bringing unimaginable secrets to light...and a monster to justice. Crime reporter Mark Edwards and his colleague Danielle Green wade deep in red herrings and a twisting and turning plot as they seek to discover the terrible secret of a Nazi sadist who has continued his murdering ways in modern London. The story switches from a wartime transit camp in Czechoslovakia to contemporary Germany; from a London suburb to the Old Bailey, the world's most famous criminal court, where two men strive to claim that the other is the real Hans Schreiber.
Schreiber's Secret is a gripping tale of unimaginable horror and hatred revolving around a question of identity. Who is the real Hans Schreiber?

Fascinating
I have already read the book so was fascinated to hear the audio version.
The whole thing came so alive it seemed like a new book to me. The narration of Nigel Patterson brought gravitas and credibility on all levels to the story. He got the Jewish accent perfectly balanced and the timing of a Jewish conversation ( that is an important feature). The book had a built in suspense which Nigel gave further depth to. This audio book comes from a well written, strong story and a timeless subject, well executed and is made into the equivalent of a Radio 4 Play - which to me is the best.

Chilling and absorbing
Any additional comments?
I lost relatives in the Holocaust,so this superb story resonated with me.The author's research was impeccable.Indeed,there were no tired tropes in this book, just absorbing characters leading me this way and that until my head was spinning with trying to second-guess Schreiber's terrible secret. I also cried in a few places, thanks in no small part to the excellent narration. I am in my hundredth year, so I've read a few books in my time.This was easily one of the best plotted.

Started well...
Just a little to coincidental, started well though but the middle section didn't contribute to the plot too much.

A brilliant work
Very well read. Flawlessly kept to the written script. The correct gravitas is maintained throughout and it was a pleasure to follow the audio version of this book, my having read the original book when it was first pin listed.

My Review
This kept me interested from the first page to the last. The story ranged from the Second World War to the present day. The ending was completely different to what expected and this pleased me immensely.
