It was fine. I liked it more than 2 stars but would have gone 2.5 if Goodreads gave that option.

It was much more of a performance than an audio book and that made it a bit more fun. Although I had to chuckle whenever a gun was in the scene because the slide sound effect was used every time someone was threatened or coming into possession of a gun - even if the same gun had a round chambered several times before actually firing. I imagined a path of unspent rounds as the shooter moved through the scene.

I don't usually read/listen to political thrillers so the story was something different. I did mostly enjoy it but I don't know if I'd pick up a second if this is a series. Unless it was a couple of dollars like this one was. ( )

"Six Degrees Of Assination" is a radio play rather than an audiobook. It has a full, very talented, cast and the story is told entirely with dialogue supported by sound effects and punctated with (slightly annoying) "thriller" music to remind you how excited you are.

I spent a fun six and half hours on a sunny day, losing myself in the events following the assassination of a British Prime Minister in London.

I was convinced by the portrayal of British politics at a time of crisis. These are the types of politicians I recognise and understand. A couple of the political speaches were so well done, I felt sure I'd heard them before.

The list of suspects, foreign and domestic, was long and colourful. The story moved quickly and had a surprisingly large body count but never fell into the realms of the completely unbelievable.

The acting was what kept me interested. Most of the dialogue was good, some was even quote funny but the occaisonal "I'm saying this to move the plot along" lines were skillfully smoothed over.

I didn't guess who did it but I didn't feel tricked when I found out who it was.

A fun way to spend some time with a drama playing out in your head. ( )

4 stars for the plot, 1 star for the sound production.

Plot was pretty good, if predictable. The real problem with this audiobook was the incredibly inconsistent sound quality. The sound effects almost completely overwhelmed a lot of the dialogue, and the sound leveling was way off, with some scenes so loud that the sound distorted through the speakers and other scenes so quiet that it could barely be heard.

This is one audiobook I wish I could have read instead. ( )

Loved this dramatic audio drama! Hope Audible do a lot more of these :) Great plot, well written and wonderfully performed by a group of British TV actors.. very time Freema Agyeman spoke i thought "Unit, Unit" !
Edge-of-your-seat thriller in the same vein as the TV series Spooks (which I loved to death) (no pun intended, much). OOOHHH and a VERY unexpected ending :) Highly recommended!!! ( )
