About this listen

"The body you are wearing used to be mine." So begins the letter Myfanwy Thomas is holding when she awakes in a London park surrounded by bodies all wearing latex gloves. With no recollection of who she is, Myfanwy must follow the instructions her former self left behind to discover her identity and track down the agents who want to destroy her. She soon learns that she is a Rook, a high-ranking member of a secret organization called the Checquy that battles the many supernatural forces at work in Britain.

She also discovers that she possesses a rare and deadly supernatural ability of her own. Filled with characters both fascinating and fantastical, The Rook is a richly inventive, suspenseful fantasy. An astonishing debut from a brilliant new voice.

So incredibly entertaining and funny!

This book is like a combination of Kingsman and The Spy. It's an exceptionally well written supernatural spy thriller. The plot, the writing and the cast of characters are so whimsical and lovable. In the beginning the book may seem dense bcoz of all the info dumping, but after 2 chapters or so, the plot is so fun!!! It's am incredible adventure and the narrator( Katy Carmicheal) was really really good!
