About this listen

When disgraced spy Solomon Vine's friend and rival Gabriel Wilde vanishes without trace, it's only Vine who might be able to discover what has happened to him. A single missing file holds the key. That, too, is gone. But its contents, Vine is told, are incendiary.

There were few Wilde could trust. And being one of them appears to have fatal consequences. But as Vine's off-the-books investigation begins to reveal the shocking truth, he realizes there's much more at stake than one man's life and the reputation of the Secret Intelligence Service....

Let’s start with the narrator. Brilliant! He has taken in the task of multi-character in multi-time frames like a gazelle! Leaping hither and thither with seemingly little effort or difficulty.

I realise if had the book in my lap I wouldn’t even be able to read without confusing myself yet listening with no such thing to hand I found little difficulty in keeping track of the sophistication plot.

That is not to criticise the story or writer in any way, it is a remarkable achievement all round.

To avoid any spoiling I’ll say nothing about the story itself except to say it’s a good’un. It is relatively contemporary and challenges the morals of everyone.

It makes you think; it makes you look for reason and cling on to any hope of at least some kind of justice; it may even make you cry a bit.

Good stuff.

Desperately sad yet weirdly hopeful.

This book moves along very fast and is a great story with a twist at the end. The narrator was excellent and so clear and easy to listen to. This is my first Mathew Richardson book and I have already down loaded another on my kindle. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good old British spy story.

A must read!!

The ending followed a conventional crisis and resolution. Otherwise well read and potentially a good read.

Good story,

This gripping spy novel is one of the best I’ve read in years. Matthew Richardson is a wonderful writer and storyteller, weaving a complicated narrative which bowls along with verve and credibility. Thoroughly enjoyable, the prose-style is elegant and compelling. More please!!

Brilliant plotting; superb writing

The author clearly knows his subject and I did enjoy his novel The Scarlet Papers. However towards the end this book dragged with all the double and treble think. The narrator is excellent.

Hard going in places

Really good mysterious opening captures the sentiment. Mid-way through it loses its way a bit and just follows the stereotypes of the genre. By the end we're in Patriot Games territory and that's okay for testosterone fiction but a let-down for an espionage novel.

solid spy yarn

Gripping, well written and full of nuances which build up nicely to the unexpected finale. So good I listened to it in one go!

Brilliantly written spy thriller

One of the things I like about Le Carre is the pace. Its just so slow. These are much more action packed and quick, but quite ingenious and a good listen. If this had been a Le Carre it would have been twice as long. If Len Dieghton three separate books. But I like both and I like this writer. The main character is a really good vehicle and I will read more, but I dont know if he needs to take himself more seriously or whether he is writing for a shorter attention span.

Anyway. Good spy thriller.

Fast paced Le Carre type page-turner

I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent story & as always, Colin Mace is an excellent narrator.
I did suss the storyline though ... but I guess the reader/listener is supposed to have solved the puzzle before the main character does...? Highly recommend...

Excellent
