Is Moscow pulling the strings? Urgent, topical and shot through with insider knowledge, this is thriller writing on a grand scale.

Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova has been a recruited asset of the CIA - stealing Kremlin secrets for her handler, Nate Nash - for over seven years. In the dazzling finale of the Red Sparrow trilogy, their forbidden and tumultuous love affair continues, mortally dangerous for them both but irresistible.

In Washington, a newly installed administration is selecting its cabinet members. Dominika hears whispers of a closely held Kremlin operation to place a mole in a high intelligence position. If the Kremlin's candidate is confirmed, the Russians will have access to all the names of assets spying for the CIA in Moscow, including Dominika's.

Dominika recklessly immerses herself in the palace intrigues of the Kremlin, searching for the mole's identity and stealing as many of President Putin's secrets for her CIA handlers as she can before her time runs out.

With a plot ripped from tomorrow's headlines, The Kremlin's Candidate is a riveting listen and a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that began with Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason.

I have listened to the previous two books in this series and liked this just as much if not more.I am sure that the real spy world is just as devious and brutal as this.

Very enjoyable

Red Sparrow (book 1) introduced the main characters and had a pretty strong story (if you can, as I have, ignore the awful, shallow and inaccurate movie rendition of it). The second book? Meh. Decent story but I couldn’t get past the reader on Audible, just disappointing with poor pronunciation and ludicrous character voices. The Kremlin’s Candidate sees a return to a great reader with the gravitas necessary to carry this story. The plot goes far beyond either of the earlier two books, taking us deeper into the layers of distrust and betrayal on both sides of the new Cold War. Not to mention the consequences that await officers who fall foul of their counterparts- or even their colleagues. Read them all, but if you’re in a dip by the middle of book two, know that there’s much better in store in this book. And did I mention? Leave the movie alone. It’s not a patch on the book.

Best of this great series by far.

This trilogy was an effortless listen. Captivating from the first. I would love to see book 2 re-recorded with Jeremy Bobb, though.

Superb! Please get Jeremy Bobb to narrate book 2
