Another classic
John le Carre was master of weaving stories with strong and interesting plots, situations and characters. He wrote this with deep intelligence and knowledge. His attention to detail is amazing. My pleasure is being woven into the story without all the bangs and crashes of most stories of this genre. Heartily recommended.

Mediocre
A little disjointed but still enjoyable.
Not the authors best of books. But I finished it.

One of le Carré’s better books, a disappointing ending, great reading by Michael Jayston
I was pleasantly surprised by this book, which I think deserves to be in the upper tier of the author’s books. The main character may be partly a transposition of the George Smiley but not entirely. There are also ingredients that go into the little drummer girl. It seems to be a framework that suits the author well. I found the story compelling but the ending I thought was disappointing. Brilliantly read and voice acted as usual by Michael Jayston

Wonderful reading
Michael Jaystone is a great performer throughout. The story itself starts off very interesting and the writing is very good. I did find myself losing interest in the latter section. But worth a read.

Not one of his best
Complicated structure and changes of tense made this hard to engage in. The characters seemed fresh from central casting, Two dimensional.

Spymaster v Agent
This is a fascinating account of the handling of an agent by his SIS spymaster, told in the first person and revealing the subtle details of their strange relationship. Read by Michael Jayston, whose voice brings echoes of the part he played in the famous TV versions of Smiley’s People and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the listener is drawn into the murky depths of a secret world where the characters struggle with problems of both a personal and international scale. I found it gripping and full of surprising twists and recommend it to all le Carré fans.
