A thrilling story of the secret services, their enemies and the society they operate in, building with unrelenting suspense to a superb climax, The Crocodile Hunter is Gerald Seymour writing at the top of his powers.

In the office at MI5 where he works, they call Jonas Merrick 'the eternal flame'. It isn't a compliment. It's because he never goes out. He never goes undercover, never does surveillance, never goes with the teams that kick down the doors or seize the suspects off the street. He commutes into work and sits at his desk and then he goes home. But Jonas has qualities the hot-shots fail to notice: a steely concentration, a ruthless ability to focus and find the enemy hiding in plain sight. Hearing of a British Jihadi returning from Syria with murderous plans, Jonas sends out for a telling photograph: a crocodile, almost submerged, just its eyes above water as it waits for unsuspecting prey to drink at the riverbank. Coming ashore near Dover, Cameron Jilkes is a young man from a broken home and a failed education, trained in the harshest theatre of war, driven to rage by loss and pain. And this time, 'the eternal flame' must go out - to hunt the crocodile himself.

I really enjoyed this book, the story and the narration. Others have commented on the book so other than to say if you like Mick Herron, Le Carre, Deighton etc... I am sure you will enjoy this. Reason for writing a review is that when you enjoy an audible book you are keen for others to enjoy it too. I see a few people were unhappy with the narration on this. I found that if i put the narration at 1.1 speed instead of normal speed (which is an option in the Audible app) that slight increase makes it sound much better and I would even say more natural to the point where I wonder if somewhere along the line the speed was accidentally reduced from what it should be. I've had this issue occasionally on other Audible books and just thought i'd make this suggestion if anyone is struggling with the narration.

Play at 1.1 speed instead of normal speed

An up to date storyline with a new understated hero. Brilliant storyline and performance was good.

A new Smiley?

This has been an excellent and gripping story, very well narrated and highly plausible. I was, quite frankly, unable to leave it until I’d finished! Excellent.

The lack of proper chaptering let the production down. The story did waffle on too much.

The production of the audio book was poor. It was difficult to distinguish breaks between scenes in the storyline

Never again will I listen to a book read by Ben Allen He read this like a child reciting by heart. Never a break to let you know the characters were changing or that we were jumping back and forth in time. No wonder some people found it challenging to listen to.

Monotony
