À propos de cet audio

“The Historians blends a fascinating historical intrigue with the quick pace and excitement of a thriller.” (Ellen Keith, author of The Dutch Wife)

The Secret History meets The Alice Network in this riveting tale of murder and conspiracy in Sweden during WWII by critically acclaimed author Cecilia Eckbäck.

It is 1943, and Sweden’s neutrality in the war is under pressure. Laura Dahlgren, the bright, young right-hand of the chief negotiator to Germany, is privy to these tensions, even as she tries to keep her head down in the mounting fray. However, when Laura’s best friend from university, Britta, is discovered murdered in cold blood, Laura is determined to find the killer.

Prior to her death, Britta sent a report on the racial profiling in Scandinavia to the secretary to the minister of foreign affairs, Jens Regnell. In the middle of negotiating a delicate alliance with Hitler and the Nazis, Jens doesn’t understand why he’s received the report. When the pursuit of Britta’s murderer leads Laura to his door, the two join forces to get at the truth.

But as Jens and Laura attempt to untangle the mysterious circumstance surrounding Britta’s death, they only become more mired in a web of lies and deceit. This trail will lead to a conspiracy that could topple their nation’s identity - a conspiracy some in Sweden will try to keep hidden at any cost.

very different from other ww2 books. I had a hard time keeping track of the characters. but it did fall into place.

Excellent book, was hard to follow the characters at first and I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I stuck it through and really got into it. Was disappointed in the end with what was fiction and what was historically accurate re: the author’s notes. Would be better classified as a fiction work to not let down the die hard fans of historical fiction works.

Hard To Follow At First

I stayed up to 3AM to finish this book. It is excellent. While I understand that it is a work of fiction, it delved into parts of WWII history that I have never heard about.

Historical fiction worth listening to
