About this listen
Eye of the Needle, Ken Follett's historical thriller, is a heart-racingly exciting tale about the fate of the war resting in the hands of a master spy, his opponent and one brave woman.
Victory Hangs in the Balance
1944. In the weeks leading up to D-Day the Allies are disguising their invasion plans with elaborate decoy ships and planes. If they can land a force on mainland Europe they will gain the upper hand in a war that has ravaged the world for years, and take the fight to the Nazi menace.
A Cold-Blooded Killer
His weapon is the stiletto, his codename: The Needle. He is Hitler’s prize undercover agent – a ruthless and professional murderer. In England he uncovers the Allies’ D-Day plans but his cover is blown in the process.
A Deadly Chase
Leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, The Needle ruthlessly races to a U-boat waiting to convey him and his critical message to Germany, with MI5 on his tail. But he hasn’t planned for a storm-battered island and the remarkable young woman who lives there . . .

I fell in love with this book almost instantly
I fell in love with this book almost instantly and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to draw it out. But I could not put down the last three hours in particular.
The narrator is outstanding. The locations are evocative. The characters, story and the detail that Follett weaves into it are astounding.
What an ending!

Excellent!
Riveting, suspenseful, excellently narrated. The narrator's array and execution of the character voices is so realistic and enthralling! A really entertaining and fantastic book!
Well researched and superbly written.

Poor character development & predictable
Weak character development. Somewhat predictable storyline. Weak ending. Not recommended. Narrater did a decent job, but couldn’t save the plot.
