Excellent
Brilliantly read! The story is delightful and original and Michael Frayn keeps the suspense to the very end . 'Spies' shouldn't have been abridged in my opinion, as every line is wonderful. More of Frayn's books please!

Really gripping
I really enjoyed this book. I'm not at all a big book reader but trying to read more, but I found this book slightly complicating and strange at the start but once you get into the book it is really exciting and everything makes sense. Really recommend to read this.

Spies
Martin Jarvis is always a joy to listen to, his PG Wodehouse narrations are just perfect.
This story starts off with a kind of Marcel Proustish olfactory motif and is evocative of an England that for better or worse is long gone.
An England of quiet desperation, unrequited desires, unspoken suffering and untreated PTSD.
The narrator is an infuriatingly weak and cowardly little twerp which is by turns amusing and maddening.
All in all a pretty interesting listen, but definitely not uplifting.
