All the stories were entertaining and thought provoking; some more than others. Some were a bit predictable but enjoyable all the same. Sometimes the readers accents got a bit mixed up but he had so many to do he can’t really be blamed The last story was spellbinding to the point were I truly couldn’t stop listening though I had other things I really needed to do :)

Over the course of his seemingly irreproachable life, Magnus Pym has been all things to all people: a devoted family man, a trusted colleague, a loyal friend - and the perfect spy. But in the wake of his estranged father's death, Magnus vanishes, and the British Secret Service is up in arms. Is it grief, or is the reason for his disappearance more sinister? And who is the mysterious man with the sad moustache who also seems to be looking for Magnus? In A Perfect Spy, John le Carré has crafted one of his crowning masterpieces.

Be patient. At first you feel like you are reading Finnegan’s Wake. Literary but impossible to understand! The prose is beautiful but the story is hard to follow. But hang in there you will be rewarded. With time it becomes clear that the spy is revealing himself to the reader in disjointed memories which serve as clues. He invites the reader to discover him as a friend or acquaintance would though bits & pieces. Bits & pieces lead to suspicion & doubt, as if the reader was discovering his real life history over many years. Is that person who he who he says he is? Here’s another memory; another clue. Up until the very end Le Carre is spinning his remembrances, revealing the Perfect Spy’s true self. Knowing that the book is semi-autobiographical is a bonus. Beautifully written. Beautifully narrated
