Story
William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective and decides, much to his father’s dismay, that rather than become a barrister like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London’s Metropolitan Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard’s arts and antiquities squad.

Story
A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

Obliterating History
Once I'd heard To Kill The President, I wanted to 'read' more Sam Bourne novels before starting on To Kill The Truth, so I read his Pantheon, The Righteous Men, Final Reckoning and The Chosen One. They were good stories, if a little pedestrian and I enjoyed them but, once I'd gobbled up To Kill The Truth, it was clear the author has hit his stride and no mistake. Its basic premise is that, to stop all wars, history must be obliterated and a fiendish villain in the White House (names have been changed to protect the present incumbents, of course but we know who they are meant to portray) embarks on a programme of world-wide murder and arson to make sure that the memory of slavery is wiped out and Holocaust deniers can safely disseminate their views without challenge. It scared me to death! Sam Bourne writes from a feminine viewpoint very well - unlike many male authors who've tried it - and his heroine, Maggie Costello, is brave, feisty and of course, flawed. There aren't many audiobooks whose exciting bits stop me in my tracks to grip the kitchen sink but this was, for me, a real sink-gripper.

Wonderful book, makes you think
I really enjoyed this story and the narration was very good. It's maybe a bit close to the truth of the world we live in just now and made me feel quite helpless at times, but I've still recommended it to several people!

The narrator's accents grate
I'm only a couple of hours into the book, however I find the narrator's performance really grating.
If you are going to have an American male narrating a book where the lead character is an Irish female, I think it would be better to suspend disbelief and narrate her is his normal voice rather than using a cod Irish accent. All the characters are read with painful and distracting regional accents, the narrator seems to use his skill in demonstrating their accents rather then portraying any emotions, subtly or believability in their accounts. I am finding it a frustrating listen.
I previously have read all the 'Sam Bourne' novels rather than listen too them. They are great easy 'holiday' reading political thillers when read; but listening to it, with this distracting narrator, I'm finding the book itself limited and clichéd

predictable, corny and women are not the presenters strong point. basic idea of the story could have been great, but the author blew it.
