Definitive le CarréAll of le Carré's novels are about people going missing, defectors etc and this is no different, but the overlaying of the missing man himself, with the search for him as two separate threads, is elegantly done, and Michael Jayston manages to differentiate which side of the story you're in, without any silly devices.
It's a solid read, as are all Jayston's, and the story gives him plenty to work with. (Posted on 27 July 2012)

A Perfect Spy, written by British bestselling author John le Carré and brought to you here in audiobook format, explores deep into the world of the ethical and mental disbanding of the mind of a secret agent. Magnus Pym is the main character and we join him on a tale of secrets and lies as le Carré attempts to find a perfect spy. Pym’s whole life is made up from a web of lies and dangerous secrets that have become so intertwined with reality that it is hard, even for him, to keep track of them all. So when the father, husband and secret agent goes mysteriously missing, it soon becomes clear that finding someone whose entire life is full of falsehoods is harder than anyone could have imagined.
John le Carré is famous for his spy novels that he began writing after spending a few years working for both MI5 and MI6. Intrigue, suspense and betrayal run through the veins of A Perfect Spy, as we struggle to work out if Marcus Pym dedicated his life to espionage in return of his soul as well as his life.
This CD audiobook is also available as an MP3 downloadable format, and has a running time of nearly 21 hours. Le Carré’s sheer skill as a storyteller will have your full attention from start to finish.
