All those familiar with the work of bestselling novelist, John le Carre, will recognise him for his intelligent narratives and ability to move readers with his expressive prose. For those who are new to this commendable author, ‘The Constant Gardner’ will make you wonder why you took so long to discover him.

This gripping spy thriller begins when a British diplomat and amateur gardener, Justin Quayle, learns that his activist wife has been murdered in Northern Kenya. Convinced that there is a weighty motive behind the killing, Quayle sets out on a personal search for the perpetrators and soon finds himself wrapped up in an international conspiracy, rife with violence and heart-wrenching terror. What the gardener eventually discovers is far beyond what he ever could have imagined of his own life, or indeed his late wife’s.

‘The Constant Gardener’ has been repeatedly noted as one of the award-winning John le Carre’s best works. The story was released as a 2005 film, directed by Fernando Meirelles and starring Ralph Fiennes. Now you can immerse yourself in this compelling complete and unabridged CD audiobook reading of the internationally bestselling novel. All John le Carre titles are also available to download as MP3 audiobooks, and make an ideal addition to any audiobook colleciton.
