About this listen
A corporate lawyer from the House of Single & Single is shot dead on a Turkish hillside for crimes that he does not understand. A children’s entertainer in Devon is hauled to his local bank late at night to explain a monumental influx of cash. A Russian freighter is arrested in the Black Sea....
The logical connection of these events and more is one of the many pleasures of this story of love, deceit, family and the triumph of humanity.

Kept my interest all the way through
Michael Jayston’s narration was superb. It is so important with an audio book to get the right narrator and he has definitely perfected the art of reading John Le Carré. I don’t think you will be disappointed if you buy this.

the le carré star continues to shine brightly
Still written in the style of a complex spy story but bringing something fresh to the story line. Colourful descriptive detail of people, places and events throughout the whole book.

Another tale from the master
A fascinating tale surrounding post communism in the former USSR – and vivid portraits of the men who grew rich overnight and ruthlessly held onto that power, taking no prisoners.

Full of twists and turns
Well read with a good tone.
The story didn’t seem to get going for me and then I realised that was the point. It’s a narrative that pulls you in slowly. I very much enjoyed it and listened to it over a few days.
I think the ending was rushed and would have liked more detail about after the denouement but that’s a personal preference.
I would certainly recommend it.

Lawyers Misbehaving
Back in familiar le Carré territory. Family values, seedy situations etc. About two thirds of the way through it, sadly, became predictable. I distinctly formed the impression that le Carré just wanted to get it finished. Michael Jayston gave an impeccable reading.

single but not alone
a fine work. was a good read, even though le Caree has explored his preoccupation of the father&son mire previously and i think more successfully in some of his other novels. M. Jayston, the resident narrator of this author, just carries on, delivers the goods and getting finer with age.

A good listen
Le Carre rarely disappoints, and this one, while not one of his very best, is still a gripping yarn, with great characters and chilling realism. Michael Jayston is the perfect reader for his books, and brings the characters alive without interfering with the narrative.

Fantastic
This put me in mind of "A perfect spy" ~ one of my favourites. It was delicious to slip into le Carre's world again. The Balloon man is an inspired creation.
