About this listen
Richard and Frances Myles are preparing for their annual European summer vacation in 1939 when they are visited at their Oxford college by old friend Peter Galt, who has a seemingly simple job for them. But in the heightened atmosphere of prewar Europe, nobody is above suspicion. In fact, the husband and wife are being carefully monitored by shadowy figures.
Above Suspicion was MacInnes’ breakthrough book, a best seller published in 1941 and released as a movie in 1943, directed by Richard Thorpe and starring Joan Crawford and Fred MacMurray.

Dated
A interesting European holiday by two academics, just before the start of WW2.
It was written in the style of the time, where romance was secondary to the story.
It was also a story told from one country’s point of view.

Brilliant narration
What a story! Brilliant narration, absolutely spot on, can’t quite give Kate enough praise ~ Sooo listenable and engaging. This novel is simply beautifully written though. The use of English at that time is divine. Thank you to the estate of Helen Macinnes for re-releasing this with Kate on board! The plot is so very apt for those interested in the current geo political ‘mood’ (for want of a better phrase). 5 stars all round ~ hear! hear!

Novel with a great sense of place and time
Enjoyed it. Old school like 'the 39 Steps'. Great job by the narrator. Give it a go
