About this listen

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?

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.

Chilling and absorbing

They say that exceptions prove the rule, and when I compared the handful of negative reviews to the hundreds of 5-star ones on all Amazon platforms, it screamed out that this book had to be heard. I wasn't disappointed.

A very entertaining listen,well read and nicely produced. Not sure the central couple were that successful as a couple though,their intimate scenes,emotional and sexual felt lifted out of a 'how to write...' handbook at times and they were more interesting characters apart,the whole story felt a level above their relationship.

Entertaining and interesting

Who was your favorite character and why?

Henry Sonntag

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The court scene.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Undoubtedly.

Any additional comments?

I loved this book. The true ending of this book is a twist that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Suffice it to say that, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, there are known knowns, known unknowns and then there are unknown unknowns.

Magnetic story brilliantly told
