About this listen
Meet Winter: she’s the audacious, hyper-intelligent GCHQ agent with more notches on her bedpost than James Bond and more hacking cred than Lisbeth Salander.
Winter Dawn is the third instalment in the Winter series, journeying back to the beginning of her story. This time, she’s grappling with Colosseum: a sinister online phenomenon that has gripped the world. It promises a massive cash prize to the successful hunter of its victims, unleashing an unstoppable tide of violence - and the world’s authorities are powerless to prevent it.
When a New York senator is targeted, Winter is called in to protect her. But with all the world watching, there’s nowhere to hide. No one has ever survived Colosseum. It’s the winter solstice and as they journey together into the dark heart of the longest night, they soon discover that nothing about Colosseum is what it seems.
There are rules and there is a purpose, if only they can solve the riddle in time. Colosseum is more than a hunt: it’s a challenge. Targets must face their darkest fear or die at dawn.
Winter Dawn is the third instalment in the Winter series - the first of which was Audible’s Thriller of the Year in 2019 - and journeys back to the beginning of her story.

Personally I was happy with Lorelei and what that part of the narration and story was trying to achieve, I thought she did a good job of what was asked of her. it is arguably a tough job given the circumstances and she shouldn't receive any discredit.. Ell, is as ever, excellent as ever. I enjoyed the story, and there are a number of parallel's to the earlier books, (not trying to spoil anything)
I would advise giving it a chance and a large chance, until you get to the familiar territory of Ell narrating Winter. If you do you are likely to finish the book. If you don't you might be asking for your credit back.
Hopefully we will be seeing more of Winter in the future.
Better than expected.

I suppose I should mention the story. I admit to being somewhat in the dark about what was going on for at least two thirds of the book - and, it turns out that was no bad thing really - the threads all come together to good effect in the end and I was gratified to learn that I had not entirely missed the plot and some of my speculation was close to correct. I have given 5* for performance and 4* for the story - the dropped star is mainly because you need to suspend belief to the extreme at times - particularly as to the capabilities of the 60 year old female senator methinks - but I will not risk a spoiler by being too specific. Having said that the two -or three - strong female lead characters are great and one of two of the other characters could give cinematic Bond villains a run for their money.
To sum it up, this was Brill. and the next Winter Audio book - assuming it will turn up and that the same narrator(s) is/are involved - will be at the top of my must have list. More please.
Third Winter outing makes for compulsive listening
