About this listen
Adam Lang has been Britain's longest serving - and most controversial - prime minister of the last half century. And now that he's left office, he's accepted one of history's largest cash advances to compose a tell-all (or at least, tell-some) memoir of his life and years of power. As pressure mounts for Lang to complete this magnum opus, he hires a professional ghostwriter to finish the book. As he sets to work, the ghostwriter discovers many more secrets than Lang intends to reveal, secrets with the power to alter world politics, secrets with the power to kill.
Set in America, on Martha's Vineyard, The Ghost is Harris's finest foray into political fiction since Archangel and brings the listener face to face with some of the biggest issues of our time. The result is gripping and genuinely thrilling.

A Great Story
Easy listening but perhaps a bit predictable. Great narration and wonderful characterization. A gripping tale.

Great book
This is a very good book that keeps pulling the reader along. Yes the former PM may be built on Blair and events similarly related. But it is first class story telling. While the twists and turns are great, I also sensed I had run into them before-- just cannot remember where! Maybe something pulled from a real British spy novel?

Good story, well told.
And brilliantly narrated by Robert Glenister.
The plot is believable and I couldn't help comparing Lang with a well known ex PM.

This story is woldclass & awsome
I've been watching the movie many times and love it. The scene in the beginning with car left into the ferry, that it never stops raining on the isle of Sylt (Martha's Vineyard) but hadn't listened to the audiobook because I prefer British to American English voice artists. This book is I N C R E D I B L E. Read it. Enjoy it. A masterpiece.

Good for turning your mind off worries
Page turner, grippino story with not so obvious ending. Strongly recommend it if you need to distract yourself
