About this audiobook
In the fifth electrifying thriller featuring Will Cochrane, the Intelligence agent must solve the unsolvable: How did four international agents working on a super-secret mission die in a safe house bunker that was locked from the inside?
Critics have called Will Cochrane a “ruthless yet noble” (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram), “one-man weapon of mass destruction” (Daily Telegraph)—a brilliant agent from whom “Bond and Bourne could learn a thing or two” (Madison County Herald). His latest assignment will plunge him into the thorny politics of the Middle East. The stakes: averting a war that could engulf the world in flames.
When the Israeli ambassador to France is shot dead in Paris by an unknown sniper, the Israeli government blames Hamas and begins planning a massive invasion to obliterate the terrorist organization once and for all. To avoid an all-out war, three members of the UN Security Council—the United States, France, and the United Kingdom—assemble a team of intelligence agents to uncover the truth behind the assassination.
But when the team stops responding and all four agents are found dead in a bunker locked from the inside, they turn to freelance intelligence operative Will Cochrane for answers. To find out what really happened in the Paris shooting and in the bunker and prevent an unwinnable war, Cochrane will use his years of knowledge and experience to unravel the truth . . . and maybe just keep himself alive.

As an MI6 field officer, Matthew Dunn recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations, and acted in deep-cover roles throughout the world. He operated in environments where, if captured, he would have been executed. Dunn was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection, deep- cover deployments, small arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, and infiltration. Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a rare personal commendation from the secretary of state for work he did on one mission, which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the success of a major international incident. During his time in MI6, Matthew conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful. He currently lives in England, where he is at work on his next novel.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Matthew Dunn's The Spy House starts a little slow but picks up momentum as it progresses. Having not read the other books in the series I took the start to be a way to both set up the story of this volume (a locked-room mystery with intelligence agents from several countries, all dead, potentially leading to major military action) as well as introduce the recurring characters to a new reader.The pacing at the start is my only real issue with the book. One antagonist is written so well that I almost hated reading the chapters concerning him because my dislike was so great. I enjoyed both the major characters as well as the secondary characters, they all seemed to advance the plot and help develop the protagonist's character also.This will appeal to anyone interested in espionage thrillers as well as many who are interested in political thrillers. I am now likely to read the other books in the series to learn about how the protagonist has become who he is.Reviewed from a copy made available through Goodreads First Reads.
