About this listen

Is Moscow pulling the strings? Urgent, topical and shot through with insider knowledge, this is thriller writing on a grand scale.

Russian counterintelligence chief Colonel Dominika Egorova has been a recruited asset of the CIA - stealing Kremlin secrets for her handler, Nate Nash - for over seven years. In the dazzling finale of the Red Sparrow trilogy, their forbidden and tumultuous love affair continues, mortally dangerous for them both but irresistible.

In Washington, a newly installed administration is selecting its cabinet members. Dominika hears whispers of a closely held Kremlin operation to place a mole in a high intelligence position. If the Kremlin's candidate is confirmed, the Russians will have access to all the names of assets spying for the CIA in Moscow, including Dominika's.

Dominika recklessly immerses herself in the palace intrigues of the Kremlin, searching for the mole's identity and stealing as many of President Putin's secrets for her CIA handlers as she can before her time runs out.

With a plot ripped from tomorrow's headlines, The Kremlin's Candidate is a riveting listen and a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy that began with Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason.

So sad it's over!

The third book was as good as the first two. Why a trilogy? This story could go on with more adventures. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Incredible

An incredibly well written trilogy. The story line, the journey, the attention to detail, the recipes. I have a massive void in my life now.

Comments from the couch 🛋

I’ve listened to all three books and have ( obviously) enjoyed them all. Have even tried a few of the recipes 😂

WOW! The best of the trilogy.

And what an ending! I listened to this book twice. It's that good.

I loved the whole trilogy and in fact listened to the first book, Red Sparrow, and this one both twice. I would have listened to the second book twice also but unfortunately the narration is bad (different narrator).

Jason Mathews' storytelling is superb, witty and on the edge of your seat, right to the end.

Jeremy Bobb's narration is awesome, bringing the characters to life.

My only regret... there's no book 4, 5, 6...

Loved all three books

I especially loved the narrator of the second book - the Russian language etc was effective in creating the atmosphere.
Tiny point - unfortunately there were very few ‘good’ Russians.
Overall though - fantastic stories and totally gripping!

Fascinating and horrifying.

Brilliant trilogy. Keeps the listener on a tight string with unexpected turns and twists. Close to my imagined reality of the world of spies. Enjoyed both narrators.
