Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Munich: A novel
Robert Harris · 2018
🎙 Narrated by David Rintoul
85/100
👍 Worth It
Robert Harris turns four days of 1938 diplomacy into a tense, meticulously researched thriller, and his more sympathetic take on Chamberlain is a genuinely fresh angle on well-trodden history. David Rintoul's narration carries the restrained tension well, making this a worthwhile listen for anyone who likes their history with a spy-thriller pulse.
