Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Treachery of Spies by Manda Scott, read by Philip Stevens, Emma Gregory and Sally Scott.
An elderly woman of striking beauty is found murdered in Orleans, France. Her identity has been cleverly erased but the method of her death is very specific: she has been killed in the manner of traitors to the Resistance in World War Two.
Tracking down her murderer leads police inspector Inès Picaut back to 1940s France where the men and women of the Resistance were engaged in a desperate fight for survival against the Nazi invaders.
To find answers in the present Picaut must discover what really happened in the past, untangling a web of treachery and intrigue that stretches back to the murder victim's youth: a time when unholy alliances were forged between occupiers and occupied, deals were done and promises broken. The past has been buried for decades, but, as Picaut discovers, there are those in the present whose futures depend on it staying that way – and who will kill to keep their secrets safe...

'The most exquisite story of heroism, deception, love and treachery you’ll find this year.' Simon Mayo
'This is a rich vein for fiction, and Scott does it more than justice, with this beautifully imagined, beautifully written, smart, sophisticated - but fiercely suspenseful - thriller.' Lee Child
'A fast-moving tightly-wrought thriller. The destination is in fact as unexpected as it’s satisfying - and very thought-provoking.' Robert Goddard
'The most exciting, involving thriller I've read in an age, and I can't recommend it highly enough.' Mick Herron
'A Treachery of Spies is a masterclass in thriller-writing. It is a heart-racing, heart-wrenching read, conceived with passion and executed with frightening skill. An awe-inspiring achievement.' Giles Kristian

Complex but very enjoyable
A wonderful intertwined story. It was difficult at times to keep track of the characters but that is perhaps due in part to me. I look forward to listening to more of her work. I do like a twist on a twist which the author kindly provided several times. Full marks to the narrators. Thank you.

Totally Absorbing
The narration was superb, the story equally so. I was absorbed so totally pulled into the narrative which captured my mind that even now after finishing I am still under its spell. The beautifully descriptive passages, the oh so clever script, my envy of Manda’s brilliance. I will wait a while and then listen again so that once again I can fully fall under its spell. Thank you, your book whether read or listened to is simply a beautiful piece of magic.

Wonder Woman fantasy
Don't bother unless your into way out fantasy
I hope Nancy Wake "the white mouse" never saw this ...t before she died
Very disappointed barely lasted to part 2
I always finish a book even if is poor
This would be one of the first I have had to put down and not finish
