The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn

Audio.    I didn't note the hours, but it was long.

Read by Saskia Maarleveld.

The life of a female Russian sniper during WWII.  Based on a true story.

The narrator was wonderful.

4.5 stars.

Most of it was good, but it was kind of a convoluted solution.

3.5 stars.
