About this listen

Open City, Closed Set is a comic thriller set in Hollywood during World War II and follows Roberto Balio, an Italian spy sent to the California coast to investigate his predecessor’s disappearance.

Roberto, a charming, handsome man with an innate ability to be trusted, becomes mesmerized by the bright lights of Hollywood, the allure of its beautiful women, and the promise of fame and fortune. When his Nazi superior enlists him in a diabolical plan that will “cripple the American soul”, Roberto must choose between his duty, the strong-willed woman he loves, and his own dreams of stardom.

Brimming with humor and an oddball cast of characters, this unique novel shines a spotlight on Hollywood’s golden age and a lonely man seduced by the American Dream. If you loved Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow, or Elmore Leonard's Get Shorty, you'll love Open City, Closed Set.

Fun and Entertaining listen!

To be honest, I usually look for titles with more reviews, but I was delightfully surprised with this engaging audiobook. Loved the way the different threads and characters weaved together to make a rich story. It was great for my long road trip, I found myself wanting to get back on the road to find out what would happen next.

The narration had a couple of blips, but overall, the voice had good range and was entertaining and compelling. It was well worth the credit :)
