If anyone could be considered a Russian counterpart to the infamous British double-agent Kim Philby, it was Oleg Gordievsky. The son of two KGB agents and the product of the best Soviet institutions, the savvy, sophisticated Gordievsky grew to see his nation's communism as both criminal and philistine. He took his first posting for Russian intelligence in 1968 and eventually became the Soviet Union's top man in London, but from 1973 on he was secretly working for MI6.

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
Revisado: 11-28-23
This was a remarkably informative and entertaining story, all the more for being history and not fiction. Superbly written and presented, the pace never flagged and I hated to see it end.

Disappointing book and
Revisado: 09-26-23
Although I am a Ken Follett fan I did not enjoy this book. It was tedious and boring, with an unimaginative plot padded by a lot of gratuitous sex irrelevant to the plot. The narrator was not able to carry off the characters’ accents and could not sustain my interest. I honestly had to force myself to finish it.

At the end of The Last Kingdom, The Danes had been defeated at Cynuit, but the triumph of the English is not fated to last long. The Danish Vikings quickly invade and occupy three of England's four kingdoms - and all that remains of the once proud country is a small piece of marshland, where Alfred and his family live with a few soldiers and retainers, including Uhtred, the dispossessed English nobleman who was raised by Danes.

The wellsprings of desire and the impediments to love come brilliantly into focus in Evelyn Waugh's masterpiece - an audiobook that immerses us in the glittering and seductive world of English aristocracy in the waning days of the empire. Through the story of Charles Ryder's entanglement with the Flytes, a great Catholic family, Evelyn Waugh charts the passing of the privileged world he knew in his own youth and vividly recalls the sensuous pleasures denied him by wartime austerities.

Superb, Thought-provoking Masterpiece
Revisado: 04-04-23
Waugh was a consummate craftsman, and the combination of his gorgeous prose and Jeremy Irons’ performance gave it an elegiac majesty that absorbed me completely. By chance I came to the end of the book at the middle of Holy Week and I could not have asked for a better pairing. Like many others I could have done without the musical background, which I found distracting.

When a British tourist fails to turn up for a luxurious cooking vacation in Bruno's usually idyllic Dordogne village of St. Denis, the worried hostess is quick to call on Bruno for help. Monica Felder is nowhere to be found, and her husband, a retired British major, is unreachable. And not long after Bruno discovers that Monica was traveling with a mysterious Irishman (her lover?), the two turn up dead. The Irishman's background in intelligence and his connection to Monica's husband only raise more questions for Bruno.

Another great Bruno novel!
Revisado: 11-25-22
I love the way Martin Walker has intertwined three stories, one an intricately plotted murder mystery, the second an appealing depiction of life in “rural “ France, and the third highlighting his obvious love of good food and wine.
MacKenzie’s performance is likewise excellent, his only very minor “flaw” being a slight inability to get the American accent exactly right by over emphasizing his r’s and pronouncing “been” as “bean,” rather than “ben” or “bin.” This, however, in no way distracts from his ability to make the text come alive. I am a total fan of the Walker-MacKenzie team and am looking forward with relish to my next Bruno read.
