About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Secret Service written by Tom Bradby, read by Juliet Aubrey.

To those who don’t really know her, Kate Henderson’s life must seem perfectly ordinary. But she is in fact a senior MI6 officer, who right now is nursing the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

Kate’s most recent mission has yielded the startling intelligence that the British Prime Minister has cancer – and that one of the leading candidates to replace him may be a Russian agent of influence.

Up against the clock to uncover the Russian mole, Kate risks everything to get to the truth. But with her reputation to uphold, her family hanging by a thread and a leadership election looming, she is quickly running out of options, and out of time.

Critic reviews

A gripping thriller
Enthralling and fast-moving . . . packed with details of modern tradecraft in the twilight world of spooks, against a background of politics at its most Machiavellian, it is the stuff headlines are made of
Teems with twists and the denouement is imaginative and unexpected
An excellent thriller straight out of today's headlines ... a fast, riveting yarn
A cracking, uber-topical spy thriller …Bradby deftly works in current fears of Moscow infiltrating our institutions amid a plot full of twists and turns
A strong dose of international politics with an all-too-plausible premise
All stars

Credible, taught thriller. Good Story and well read. I'd compare the author's ability from this book to Stella Rimington.

Brilliant - can't wait for the next book.

I found the plotlines far too predictable. The narrator's Scottish accent was a complete distraction.

Too predictable

It’s a fabulous spy story - MI6 and Russians. And the performance is OK apart from the excruciating Scottish accent for Stuart and the terrible accents of the “establishment” characters. But the story is so good I could put up with the accents.

Gripping thriller - recommend you read it
