About this listen
1940: Dover waits for the Nazi invasion… but what if Hitler's agents are already here, among them?
Canadian journalist Jessica Marshall is reporting from Dover as the town is on the brink of a German invasion. But her story never makes it into the paper…
Meanwhile, Louis Renard, an intelligent, damaged man and onetime Scotland Yard murder detective, is recuperating from wounds received in the Dunkirk invasion, working in Dover's barely functioning police station.
When a dancer is found murdered in a secret underground bunker, Renard refuses to turn a blind eye, and Jessica smells a scoop.
As the mystery deepens, Renard begins to dig deeper into the background of the murdered woman, while Jessica Marshall is lured further into a dangerous scheme, just as the threat from the looming invasion gets closer…
When the Germans Come is a thriller about the murky and frightening dark heart of wartime Britain we rarely see.

A great book and performance
Thoroughly enjoyable book, I felt immersed in the world and the characters even if I was left wanting a bit more history. It's my first David Hewson novel and I'll return for more. The narrator did a really fantastic job, keeping me totally engaged at all times, he has a very natural way of narrating that let me enjoy the drama without being overwhelmed by it. Recommended!

Wartime crime thriller read by a buffoon
Let’s get the narrator out of the way. He’s not bad but doesn’t know how to pronounce several words that aren’t even unusual. Anyone narrating a books with military ranks should be taught that we don’t say loo-tenant. It’s bloody irritating and takes you out of the plot. It’s a black Mariah too not a Maria. I may be pedantic but it ruins the listening experience of what was otherwise a really enjoyable and intelligent thriller.
