Josef Vadassy, a Hungarian refugee and language teacher living in France, is enjoying his first break for years in a small hotel on the Riviera. But when he takes his holiday photographs to be developed at a local chemists, he suddenly finds himself mistaken for a Gestapo agent and a charge of espionage is levelled at him. To prove himself innocent to the French police, he must discover which one of his fellow guests at his pension is the real spy. As he desperately tries to uncover the true culprit's identity, Vadassy must risk his job, his safety and everything he holds dear.

A genuine classic
If you want to experience the feel of the Continent in the 1930s, you will find few better guides (Robert Harris)
A sly variation on the traditional English country-house murder mystery
An uncommonly good story of international intrigue
Unquestionably our best thriller writer (Graham Greene)
The source on which we all draw (John le Carré)

Highly engaging

Not one of Ambler’s best yarns, but quite readable. The story shows how vulnerable the lives of stateless people and anti-Nazi Germans was in the late 1930s, as Europe went blindly towards war.

The narration let it down : too modern when reading the passages of the Hungarian narrator, and completely over-the-top (and wrong) French and German accents, weird Swiss-German accents and poor 1930s American accents. Not unlistenable (at least for me), but frequently irritating.

Not a bad period piece

Unfortunately the book doesn’t stand the test time. Additionally, I found it quite boring in places.

I adore Eric Ambler but (and I am sorry to say it because it sounds really mean) the narration ruined it for me. The narrator went over the top giving every character ridiculous accents. It took me out of the story and had me focussed (and irritated) by the various "impressions" being done.

I couldn't finish this....
