About this listen
The life-and-death hunt for a notorious Nazi criminal unfolds against a background of international arms deals. As the story leads to its final dramatic confrontation on a bleak winter's hill-top, the question every reader asked at the end of The Day of the Jackal will inevitably be asked again: Can this be fiction?

Great yarn
Where does The Odessa File rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Frederick Forsyth, Jack Higgens, Bernard Cornwell to name a few are 'Big Boys Own Adventure' stuff. Not too much detail to bog you down, but just enough to keep the pace flowing. A pleasant experience this audiobook.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The Werewolf is so good. Got to love it when a baddy is written up so well.
What about David Rintoul’s performance did you like?
Excellent performance; with accents, style of speech and his consistency.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
When the past catches up with you it won't knock on the door, it may well be kicked in.
Any additional comments?
It is great to see how a major character does not necessary cause all effects but is important to events that he has no idea he is effecting. Lovely writing.

Brilliant
This outstanding story of historical fiction is a must. It brings the reality of the workings of the SS in the holocaust to vivid life. Frederick Forsyth is a Master storyteller. I cannot recommend this book enough.

A master of suspence
Forsyte knows how to tell a story based on historical events and is a master of suspence. I highly recommend. David Rintool is excellent as usual.

a bit bloated
If you could sum up The Odessa File in three words, what would they be?
surprising; overly detailed
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Odessa File?
the ending
What does David Rintoul bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
the pronunciation of the non-english names
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no, the diary entry and the war detail were too long
Any additional comments?
i enjoyed the story but it seemed( not true but seemed ) as if the Nazi war stories took up half the story. In my opinion, it was too much, too long.
Without it, the story would be nice but perhaps some people would feel it was too short.
Not all the extra layers were necessary, i think.

classic moving unputdownable
Somehow I missed this when growing up. it's a great work of fiction based on many real events and people. It will change your life. The descriptions of the Nazi death camps are harrowing.
