About this listen

An authorized agent again, Charlie Muffin must thwart an assassination attempt that could turn the tides of the Cold War

It could be the most sensational defection of all time. The head of the Russian KGB’s cipher section comes with every code, every plot, every secret. But his most startling disclosure of all is that the Russians are planning a shocking assassination.

But the defector doesn’t know who. Or where. Or how. Or when. All Charlie knows is that he must stop the murder from happening - without being marked for death himself.

most of this series has been excellent and I'm comparing this to other stories in the series so whilst this is a pretty good book it's not as good as others but don't let that put you off its still worth a listen

OK but not great

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Well written and narrated, I enjoyed this book very much. I think it was my favourite storyline so far of the series.

Another good Charlie Muffin spy thriller

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Well narrated as usually shame not all Charlie Muffin books are not available in this medium.

Great

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
pretty good apart from the narrator affecting an upper class accent yet unable to pronounce Islay or Grosvenor properly.

Islay

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
How have I got to this great age without having read one of these Charlie Muffin books. They’re great, Charlie’s a great - very human - hero. Fortunately I have a few more to enjoy
Narration’s terrific BTW, although we would disagree on the pronunciation of Islay.

Great hero
