About this listen

Cindy Murphy is the early 2000s poster girl for having it all. A top job in finance in Manhattan, two delightful daughters and a house in the suburbs. But Cindy’s life is built on a lie. She’s really a Russian spy sent to live in deep cover in the US and send intel back to Moscow.

Rosamund Pike narrates this true story documentary about an extraordinary woman who deceives her friends, neighbors, boss and even her children.

I enjoyed listening to this podcast. To learn that there are Russian spies living in other countries is shocking. Everyone needs to listen to this.

I absolutely loved this from start to finish. So many varied voices woven together to build a really rich, informative and human idea of what it must actually be like to be a deep cover spy. As a mum as well, I couldn't help but empathise with the normal work balance struggles despite the totally alien idea of leading a double life as a spy. Just fascinating! Really well written - seamlessly weaving in different perspectives.

Gripping, informative and expertly woven together
