About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The sequel to the Times Thriller of the Year bestseller, This is the Night They Come for You.

The past is coming for Chief Inspector Taleb. He may not know it but he will soon enough. And the past in Algeria is venomous, vengeful and relentless, designed to consume the unwary traveller. He will soon find himself looking down the barrel of a thirty-year-old mystery, which, if he’s not careful, will be aimed squarely at him.

This Is the Day They Dream Of is the scintillating sequel to the critically acclaimed This Is The Night They Come For You, which introduced the world-weary Inspector Taleb and his infinitely more competent colleague Agent Hidouchi of the Algerian Secret Service. Together they must navigate the country’s treacherous history to save themselves from its dangerous present.

I like the characters. The plot is full of twists. I was sorry to reach the end. The narrator was brilliant, apart from his rendition of The Dutchman, just a minor figure near the end.

Entertaining and well-written story.

...and I'll never, ever forget that "Dutch" accent.

As always, Robert Goddard continues to deliver.

Great story...

Really liked the suspense, the narration was superb and engaging. Waiting for next instalment of Taleb. Highly recommend it.

Marvellous story

the narrator wasn't 100% ,for me, but it didn't spoil the book. I love the main character, Tales, and the complexities of the plot. I liked book 1 more. this was a bit slow to get off the ground. still well worth reading.

Great book

i don't know this author but liked the sound of the title of book1 and have now listened to book 2. the history is very good and the intrigue is very believable. I will await book 3 eagerly, if there is one.

very good
