John Le Carré Audio Book

The BBC are delighted to bring you a full-cast audiobook dramatisation of ‘A Murder of Quality’ by the internationally bestselling author of ‘The Constant Gardener’, John le Carre.

Starring Simon Russell Beale as Britain’s favourite portly, unlikely crime-buster - George Smiley - this BBC Drama on CD audiobook and MP3 download is guaranteed to please fans of the spy and thriller genres.

Set in the early Sixties, the plot follows Smiley when he sets out to investigate a menacing letter from a woman who claims her husband is trying to kill her. But he is too late. Shortly after she has written the letter, the woman is found bludgeoned to death in the public school where her husband works. As Smiley attempts to get to the bottom of the crime, the list of potential suspects grows and grows. Wading his way through the inconsistent accounts from the difficult townsfolk, whilst at the same time trying to defend the case of a madwoman he believes is being unfairly trialled as a suspect, Smiley must confront a dangerous world of long concealed truths and bad blood that has long turned sour.

Brought to life by a distinguished cast of award-winning actors, ‘A Murder of Quality’ on CD and MP3 audiobook is another exceptional production from the BBC.
