Critic reviews

"Once again demonstrating his ability to probe the moral murkiness of the spy trade and create an absorbingly diverse ensemble, Seymour crafts a sophisticated, reader-teasing tale." ( Sunday Times on The Corporal’s Wife)
"When readers get to the nail-biting climax...they may be wondering why they should bother with any other thriller writer." ( Independent on The Corporal’s Wife)

I really liked this book although I kept having to re listen quite a bit to understand the characters and plot. However, I still liked the story and the narration. Definitely one to recommend

Complicated but I got there in the end!

i used to read Mr Seymour's books decades ago, im hooked again with audible- this is gripping from start to what i thought was an extended finish, in a good way! the story reached a point when i thought hadn't seen that coming, wot a book, then it continued for another 3 hours in different directions

wow the story that keeps on giving

Excellent narration of what started out as a lucid tale. I was enjoying the well written tale detailing the interactions and characterisation of the MCs, settling into the "mafia/spy" genre, but with 11 hrs and 38 minutes to go, when events, IMO, took a dip as Jago goes to beard Marcantonio in his own territory. One doesn't chase a lion into his den without the skills and ability to survive, which Jago, as a banker does not appear to have. It made me jolt to a stop and I haven't had to courage to proceed; i fear for this MC and the outcome. Is Jago foolish or brave? is Seymour pitting him into a battle too far? Will Jago be martyred?

Perhaps I will finish the book, but not just now.

SADLY STALLED

Just James/Jago ?
