A bit of a who-done-it
There is a strong spy catcher element to this story of intrigue. The storyline leads to a surprising conclusion and allows good character development. Damon Broni gives a lively reading with good characterisation although he is hampered by some of the dialogue which is a bit long winded at times. I enjoyed the dramatization and the plot which is rich in period detail.

Too much dog and teen
More of a whoddunnit. Repetitive dialogue. Frankly, annoying teenage boy and dog get too much coverage.

Fabulous story but the narrator was terrible
Disappointing narration. It really ruins what is a fabulous story. The previous narrator was far better!

Not well read
A pity that such a wonderful story was not better read or produced. There were a number of reading and pronunciation errors that should have been corrected. Not impressed.
