London 1929. Very much not a land fit for heroes. Frenchie knows his occasional work for MI5 serves only the ruling classes. But he needs to feed his children. Scruples died in the trenches.

When Ramsay MacDonald, Britain's first Labour prime minister, is blackmailed by a former lover, Frenchie must go to Paris to buy her silence.

It is clear there are many people who would see MacDonald fall—the Conservatives, their friends in the press, even some of his own colleagues. But his own secret service? When Frenchie hears the other side of the story, everything changes.

The Prime Minister's Affair is another brilliant historical thriller from the author of Witchfinder, based on a real blackmail plot, hidden in the archives.

Critic reviews

A compelling story of power, passion and intrigue based on real events, The Prime Minister's Affair is a terrific read (Nick Robinson)
His new novel quietly ticks all the boxes . . . Albeit set in a period Le Carré never explored, this has all the trademark qualities of the Grand Master himself, an historical spy thriller which springs to life due to the complexity and humanity of its characters, both public and private (Maxim Jakubowski)
A must read for anyone with any interest in politics of the past or the present (Edward Wilson)

This is a slow-take-off book. Sadly there was not enough meat for me to stay engaged thus it will go back on a shelf.

I assume the Prime Minister’s intrigue will reach a more complicated and exciting level but I could not stay engaged to find out.

The Narrator reads well, though.
