About this listen

An authorized agent again, Charlie Muffin must thwart an assassination attempt that could turn the tides of the Cold War

It could be the most sensational defection of all time. The head of the Russian KGB’s cipher section comes with every code, every plot, every secret. But his most startling disclosure of all is that the Russians are planning a shocking assassination.

But the defector doesn’t know who. Or where. Or how. Or when. All Charlie knows is that he must stop the murder from happening - without being marked for death himself.

I can't understand why the Charlie muffin stories have not had more publicity. He is just as good as Len Deighton's Bernard Sampson. I love how things are never quite what they seem and Charlie always gets the upper hand, Much to the consternation of his superiors.

One slightly annoying thing is that the narrator Leighton Pugh for all his plummy accent cannot pronounce Grosvenor or Islay correctly! Mind you he does an absolutely brilliant job of distinguishing all the different characters with their own voices and accents.

Charlie Muffin just gets better and better!!

This series goes from strength to strength with another scintillating gripping episode fantastically narrated to enhance the drama and pace of the plot. Charlie navigates the crisis like hopping across the crenelations of the famous Swiss chocolate bar.

Charlie, out in the cold again in Switzerland, lances into action at every place, not accepting the errors and omissions and downright carelessness from foes and friends alike; a one man platoon advancing on his perfect enemy. Love the intricacies this author weaves into the tale. Very enjoyable indeed. Thanks for the freebee Audible. RECOMMENDED

Another very enjoyable Charlie Muffin story, great narration almost all of the time- it’s very jarring when the upper crust English accent employed by the narrator inexplicably mispronounces and sometimes oddly mis-emphasises!

Another great instalment

most of this series has been excellent and I'm comparing this to other stories in the series so whilst this is a pretty good book it's not as good as others but don't let that put you off its still worth a listen

OK but not great

I came across the series when Audible put them in the Plus library. I've enjoyed 1-9 straight through and will get to No 10 once I've finished this review! Thoroughly enjoyable shenanigans with deceit, twists, turns and sparkle, with a soupcon of shabby.

Why haven't I come across Charlie Muffin before, despite having read for 60 years?

Great spy story and the plot is probably one of the best in the Charlie Muffin series. Looking forward to the next one in the series

Probably One of the Best

Well narrated as usually shame not all Charlie Muffin books are not available in this medium.

Great

As usual, keeps you riveted and guessing. The final responsibility twist wholly unexpected as much as the retribution of Muffin is.

Excellent Muffin tale.

pretty good apart from the narrator affecting an upper class accent yet unable to pronounce Islay or Grosvenor properly.
