Complex spy story
This is a different style of book compared with Ian Rankin's Rebus detective series. It's closer to his style when writing under his nom de plume of Jack Harvey. It's in the same genre as John Le Carre's spy stories and is similarly complicated with lots of twists and turns and many characters which makes it a bit more difficult to follow as an audio book. It's excellently read, which helps, and is a good story, but you have to concentrate and not leave too long a gap between listening sessions otherwise you forget who is a goody and who a baddy.

Great spy novel.
Lots of twists and turns, the novel gathers speed about half way through, try putting the book down then.

Fabulous Story and Narration
Oh, Mr Rankin, what a fabulous foray into the world of cloak and daggers. A rip-roaring story full of characterisation AND I could listen to Roger Allam all day long. Thank you both so very much.
