Audiobook: Six Degrees of Assassination by M.J. Arlidge

Synopsis

On a sullen, cloudy July day ten years since 7/7, the British Prime Minister is visiting a charity in East London. It’s just two months after the general election which saw John Campbell’s government returned to power with a clear majority. Suddenly, a man appears out of the crowd and shoots him three times in the chest. Alex Cartwright, MI5 Chief Counter Terrorism Officer must find out the truth. But it’s easier said than done, as he discovers that whoever ordered the assassination has covered their tracks very well indeed. Along with Ellen Townsend, his trusted second-in-command, Cartwright finds himself embroiled in a race against time.

Review

I really enjoyed the fast pace setting of the story. In the beginning we had a clear focus on the action, which shifted a bit more to the political side of it in the last part. That made me lose my interest a lot. I understand that it is connected to the story but I could have survived wioth a bit less of it.
It also felt more like a movie then a regular Audiobook with all the audio effect they added and helped for sure to feel engaged with the characters. Occasionally they could have benefited from being turned down a bit.

Overall, I liked it and it kept me entertained for a while.
