1936, Hitler’s Nazi party is on the rise and a station master’s daughter falls in love with a regular passenger in the Yorkshire countryside.
But is Roger Hall all he seems!?

A great read with intrigue, spies and motor cars.
Beautifully narrated, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy to review.

I was really looking forward to listening to this audio but sadly it started at 5.7% at Chapter Two. The prologue and Chapter One were missing.

It’s always great reading a historical fiction especially written by Fiona McIntosh because you always have a great adventure.
This one did not disappoint, set during World War II and the story was enthralling and makes you on the edge of your seat as Evie embarked on a scary life and death adventure of being a spy. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
The narrator did an excellent job narrating the book.
Thank you NetGalley and to the publisher Bolinda Audio for the audio copy.

The Spy's Wife is a WWII story with heart, and undercover intrigue. Evie, a widowed stationmaster’s daughter from Yorkshire, finds herself falling for a man who turns out to be a German spy.
When she finds out, instead of backing away, she jumps feet-first into his world becoming his fake wife and heading to Munich to prove his innocence and secretly help Britain.
It seemed to have a more positive vibe than more popular war fiction and the female villain was inspired.

I was gifted the audio version of The Spy’s Wife. Initially, I thought it would have been nice to have a male narrator to complement the female narrator, Katy Sobey, given the many male roles in the story. However, within a few chapters, I was so absorbed in the book that I forgot about this and became captivated by every word of this unputdownable novel. Fiona has crafted another wonderful historical tale that transports you to a time of war, where ordinary people did extraordinary actions. With determination, suspense, bravery, and love, Fiona brought the fight to survive and love through the main character, Evie. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio and would highly recommend it.
I would like to thank the author, narrator, Bolinda Audio and NetGalley for my free copy of this novel, in exchange for my honest review.

This turned out to be a really enjoyable story. The characters came alive in the early chapters and the reader is able to create a bond, as if they were real people. At the beginning of the book it is 1933, and the growing changes in German society are evident. All this before moving to Yorkshire in the middle of the decade. One of the themes running through the whole story involve trains and railways but it doesn't hinder your enjoyment if you don't hold similar enjoyment of trains and railways. Soon we have romance between Evelyn and a traveller through the station where she works. The romance develops into an engagement and then the whole story is turned upon its head with his arrest.
The situation moves to London and there is intrigue and more. Next the drama moves via Paris to Munich in 1936 in the lead up to the Munich Olympics. At this point the reader is pulled in and the book cannot be put down. The pace is quick and all this happens infront of the back drop of Nazism.
Thank you Storm Publishing for publishing this book.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I very much enjoyed this gripping, fast paced historical fiction set mostly in Yorkshire and Germany just before the outbreak of World War 2. I have read and loved all of Fiona's excellent works of historical fiction and this is another superb addition to the genre with its great characters, and its interesting and clever plot.
Brilliant narration by Katy Sobey too.
With grateful thanks to NetGalley, Bolinda Audio and Fiona McIntosh for my advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

The Spy’s Wife didn’t quite work for me. I couldn’t get past the fact that the protagonist herself considered turning her lover in early on, but later made a huge fuss when her sister actually did it. Add to that her petulant behaviour with almost everyone around her, and I found it hard to connect or sympathize with her. The premise had promise, but the character dynamics just didn’t land for me.
