About this listen

""This is Finder at his finest—a perfect everyman-in-peril story, first building an ominous drumbeat of menace, then exploding in action and intrigue and triumph. As good as it gets.""—Lee Child

From the New York Times bestselling author of House on Fire, a breakneck thriller that marries the dynastic opulence of Succession with the tense and disorienting spycraft of The Americans.

Paul Brightman is a man on the run, living under an assumed name in a small New England town with a million-dollar bounty on his head. When his security is breached, Paul is forced to flee into the New Hampshire wilderness to evade Russian operatives who can seemingly predict his every move.

Six years ago, Paul was a rising star on Wall Street who fell in love with a beautiful photographer named Tatyana—unaware that her father was a Russian oligarch and the object of considerable interest from several U.S. intelligence agencies. Now, to save his own life, Paul must unravel a decades-old conspiracy that extends to the highest reaches of the government.

Rivaling the classic spy novels of the Cold War, The Oligarch’s Daughter is built for the frightening world we live in now.

Story is excellent. Although the narration was a bit quirky at times. The edits/ changes made by the narrator were done when the narrator’s voice was different ( due to the effects from a cold or other vocal condition ) which disrupted the flow of the story.

I liked the plot. At first the switching of time periods was irritating but it did make it more intriguing to hear what led to his present situation and wonder how it would be resolved.

For five years Grant Anderson has been earning his living as a boat builder in Derryfield, New Hampshire. Sarah is a 1st grade teacher and Grant’s girlfriend since his arrival in Derryfield. He listens attentively to her stories about her days’ events and her background but he doesn’t share much about his past. She’s becoming curious as to what he did before he arrived in town.
Grant‘s friend Lyle Boudreau is the captain and owner of Deep Sea Charter. Lyle, who has come down with a bug, asks Grant if he will stand in for him and take the scheduled client out on his boat. While out on the water Grant is confronted by Frederick Newman, the client, who announced that he has come prepared to kill him. When Newman pulled a gun and details his murderous plan, a struggle ensues and Newman is killed and his body is dumped overboard. When Grant returns to shore he realizes that his five years of living in obscurity under another name is over.
