Acerca de esta escucha

Everyone knows about the Cambridge Spies from the 1950s, but no spy ring was ever unearthed at Oxford. Because one never existed? Or because it was never found...?

2022: Former spy Simon Sharman is eking out a living in the private sector. When a commission to delve into the financial dealings of a mysterious Russian oligarch comes across his desk, he jumps at the chance. But as Simon investigates, worrying patterns begin to emerge. His subject made regular trips to Oxford, but for no apparent reason. There are payments from offshore accounts that suddenly just...stop. Has he found what none of his former colleagues believed possible, a Russian spy ring now nestled at the heart of the British Establishment? Or is he just another paranoid ex-spook left out in the cold, obsessed with redemption?

A very enjoyable read, crisp and to the point. The most important aspect – the story, the whole spy procedural felt very real. It is to be expected as the author behind the pseudonyme of Charles Beaumont seems to be/have been a real-life british spy. So, he knows what he is talking about. Much recommended!

One of the best spy books around

A real, intense, cerebral spy story. It felt extremely realistic. Superbly written with fabulous narration. It’s detailed, intriguing & fascinating. This could really have happened.

A proper Spy story

Different, but equal to Slow Horses. Simply could not put it down. A great listen from start to finish.

Brilliant!

I enjoyed the narration. I liked the way the story had you gunning for the main man, along with being frustrated by his flaws, started slow, but overall the storyline was a good spy story, incorporating politics and money. I will look for another story by same author.

Good solid intrigue

Normally, having an espionage thriller written by a former member of the intelligence community raises my expectations and my interest. I recently read Jack Beaumont's GCSE books and can't wait for more to be written. Sadly, in the case of this book, I was sorely disappointed.

It mostly comes down to one glaring fact: the main character is deeply and horribly incompetent. Besides just bumbling from one disaster to another, he seems to tell everyone he meets every detail of his mission and makes so many glaring mistakes it's a wonder he survives at all. It makes sense why MI6 fired him and why his business is unsuccessful. He's sloppy in his tradecraft and PerSec, obvious to the bigger picture, and his insecurities dominate his behavior. I see there's a followup book but I think I'll politely take a step back and forget I ever read this deeply pedestrian addition to the genre. There are quite literally a hundred books or more that are better than this.

Someone's just...not good at their job
