As a fan of this author, the Charly Muffin series and gradually audibly munching my way through the rest of his books I feel this book touches on so much more than just the spying. Published in 1991-I personally love the irony of Fremantle’s then concepts and where we are now in 2024 globally mixed with human nature & psychology. I also recommend ‘Target’ where fiction and real events cross paths a bit to close for comfort

It’s all in the game or the worm has turned.

An unexpectedly good listen. It takes a little time to really get going, but once the main plot kicks in it never lets up in terms of intrigue and suspense. Without going into too many spoilers, the story is about a woman being targeted and seduced by a spy. The two duelling narratives are compelling, with one side feeling like an almost trashy love story and the other the look inside of the head of a complete sociopath as he manipulates the situation. The ending is fantastic and worth the time spent to get there. The narration performance isn’t perfect, or at least not for my taste, but certainly not enough to put off or distract from a great story

Romance melodrama meets Spy thriller

The heavy handed German accents were difficult to deal with but I persevered as the story was intriguing. However, the pronunciation of Jutta (which should be Yutta), the Chancellery (should be chan celry not Chan celery), and Adenauer to name but three were grating in the extreme. I did wonder if it had been read using AI. I won't listen to anything narrated by Heather Wilds again.

Shocking pronunciation

Stick with it, this is a good story - less predictable than initially imagined. I found the narration a bit difficult as sentences run into each other and scenes change without a breath.

Flat narration but great story
