Summary
A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead on a Turkish hillside for crimes that he does not understand. A children’s entertainer in Devon is hauled to his local bank late at night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea....
The logical connection of these events and more is one of the many pleasures of this story of love, deceit, family and the triumph of humanity.

Kept my interest all the way through
Michael Jayston’s narration was superb. It is so important with an audio book to get the right narrator and he has definitely perfected the art of reading John Le Carré. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you buy this.

the le carré star continues to shine brightly
Still written in the style of a complex spy story but bringing something fresh to the story line. Colourful descriptive detail of people, places and events throughout the whole book.

Another tale from the master
A fascinating tale surrounding post communism in the former USSR – and vivid portraits of the men who grew rich overnight and ruthlessly held onto that power, taking no prisoners.

Full of twists and turns
Well read with a good tone.
The story didn’t seem to get going for me and then I realised that was the point. It’s a narrative that pulls you in slowly. I very much enjoyed it and listened to it over a few days.
I think the ending was rushed and would have liked more detail about after the denouement but that’s a personal preference.
I would certainly recommend it.

Lawyers Misbehaving
Back in familiar le Carré territory. Family values, seedy situations etc. About two thirds of the way through it, sadly, became predictable. I distinctly formed the impression that le Carré just wanted to get it finished. Michael Jayston gave an impeccable reading.

Complex but interesting
This book left me totally confused until about half way through when it started to make some sort of sense. I have listened to many le Carré books but this one was by far the most complex. Once you have understood the characters the second half is very entertaining.

Good story.
This was nice to listen to. Nice, complex plot and very well narrated. But not my best Le Carré.

Good story typical le Carre
Good story although the end was slightly contrived. Well narrated by Michael Jayston which elevated it well.
