Thank you so much for bringing out the work of this classic spy novelist. I have enjoyed her books for many years and missed seeing them in Audible. I think this is one of her better books, and I found the narrator to be a good choice. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

A satisfying listen

this was an important trilogy that Macinnes wrote. the books are great. i wish there was a better narrator. the main character, Colin Grant would not have that kind of voice, rough and gutteral in some places, not sure why this was but i didnt like it. probably wont listen to this again, which is a shame. we will have to see what Burns does with the remaining two.

narration is not so great

This is a story and an author that I have loved for 30 years. I have greatly enjoyed other recordings of her books. Unfortunately, Grover Gardner in my opinion is not the correct reader for this book. His voice is too rough and in another Helen McInnes, where he is supposed to be reading with a French accent, it is completely inaccurate,. Instead of recording with an insufficient reader, please give us the opportunity to purchase the former excellent recordings.

Excellent story, wrong voice for reading.
