Ransom Audiobook by Daniel Silva— narrated by Edoardo Ballerini
Ransom is Daniel Silva's 26th Gabriel Allon spy thriller. A British billionaire's socialite wife vanishes on holiday, and the art restorer turned legendary spy gets pulled back into the old life. Twisty, fast, and a workable place for a newcomer to start.
Why the audiobook wins
Edoardo Ballerini narrates the 26th Gabriel Allon novel, a spy thriller with dry one-liners between the dangerous scenes. A socialite vanishes on holiday and her billionaire husband is holding something back, so every polite answer deserves a second look.
At about 10 hours, the pace is fast and easy to finish, with twists stacked on twists and a big, slightly over-the-top climax. The central puzzle needs no backstory, so it is a workable place for a newcomer to start, though longtime listeners will feel the old-enemy thread harder.
A good fit for a long drive or a weekend. One Audible credit covers the whole book.
