Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Rebecca Lowman’s narration is nothing short of stellar, imbuing Gertrude 'Gertie' Legendre’s story with a sense of urgency and drama that keeps you hooked from start to finish. The pacing is perfect—neither too fast nor slow—allowing the listener to fully absorb Gertie's journey through World War II. While the audiobook excels in storytelling, it occasionally feels overly reliant on military jargon, which might confuse listeners unfamiliar with the era. Overall, A Guest of the Reich is a must-listen for those intrigued by real-life espionage and wartime heroism.
