Summary
Disavowed spy Charlie Muffin wages war against his former employers.
Charlie Muffin has come back to England. The ex-spy, a veteran of 25 years’ service to the Crown, was last seen in Berlin, where an attempt on his life by his own organization led to international embarrassment. They had expected Charlie—a disheveled, middle-aged survivor of every double cross in the book—to die easily. Instead, he disappeared.
But after months on the run, dulling his instincts with alcohol and laziness, the strain of life in the shadows finally gets to Charlie. By now the heat back home must have died down, and he shouldn’t have any trouble sneaking across the Channel. Now, he expects, he can finally be safe in England.
Charlie Muffin is dead wrong.

Excellent
Charlie's adventure continues to be compelling and exciting. A great performance. Pronunciation of Grosvenor annoyed me. Otherwise flawless.

Good sequel
I enjoyed this more than the first book. A little slow at the very beginning but worth sticking with.

loved it !!
Totally engaging storyline with despicable baddies and moraly compramised goodies. The reader is a perfect choice sounding like someone from the era and the social class that most of the characters were from.

More Muffin
Part 2 of the series sees our hero taking on alone the might of the CIA and the petty, bungling public schoolboys of what seems to be a mix of MI5 and MI6. If you liked the first, you should like this. I am struck that the only women in this novel are frequently shrewish wives or tea ladies -- the 1970s feel like a foreign country.... The read is fine, with the actor good at accents, though his Russian and American ones are somewhat parodic. A shame neither he nor the producer could be bothered to research the pronunciation of long words. Dacha, a Russian country retreat, is pronounced datcha. Less forgivable are mispronunciations of Grosvenor and Holborn.

...than the first book was. Nonetheless it has its moments and is worth listening to.

Making a Cake of British Intelligence
Such a well written tale of the disgruntled Charlie Muffin running rings around The Service. Well scripted, well planned and so well narrated, with elements of dark humour covering serious events. Such good MCs. A REAL PLEASURE

Second Try - shouldn’t have bothered
Thought i’d Give Charlie a second try - sorry to say worse than the first. Totally transparent and predictable. The endless dialogue about his wife’s angst and paranoia is so dragged out that one can only believe that it is there to pad out a very weak storyline. The reviewer who gave him the distinction of a second John Le Carre should be prosecuted under the trade description act - couldn’t even hold a candle. At best could only be described as very run of the mill.
One redeeming fact is that as his wife was shot in this novel readers will be spared the diatribes in later novels.

Could have been written by a fifteen year old. Good for laughs of you're stuck on a plane
