Miss Ailsa Brimley is in a quandary. She's received a peculiar letter from Mrs. Stella Rode, saying that she fears her husband - an assistant master at Carne School - is trying to kill her. Reluctant to go to the police, Miss Brimley calls upon her old wartime colleague, George Smiley. Unfortunately, it's too late. Mrs. Rode has just been murdered. As Smiley takes up the investigation, he realizes that in life - as in espionage - nothing is quite what it appears.

Le Carre Is Boring
Revisado: 12-08-23
These le Carre stories are boring. The British culture the stories are set in is extremely foreign to Americans. I don't see that le Carre deserves his good reputation.

Makes James Bond look like a boy scout
Revisado: 10-20-20
Tough gritty, and humorous. The story makes sense and there aren't many holes. Highly recommended.

First conceived during a rainy summer holiday in the Highlands of Scotland in an attempt to amuse his stepson, Treasure Island began with the map. Young Lloyd Osbourne had drawn a crude version of an island, and Stevenson, looking over the boy's shoulder, began to elaborate, christening various curves and smudges the famed names of Skeleton Island and Spyglass Hill and finally adding the three red crosses marking the buried treasure.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Okay, before I bought this audio book I already had a professional audio book of this book,. I spent a credit in order to hear this wonderful story narrated by Timothy West. Even though I already had another fine narrator of this audio book in my possession I still felt the rendition of Timothy West was worth the credit. I was right. West is superb in his ability to express the different characters in the story and in his ability to correctly bring the correct excitement to the narration. I am very satisfied with my purchase. If you choose to go with this narration I believe you will be also.
What did you like best about this story?
This is an adventure you can read to children or enjoy by yourself. Like the Harry Potter books it transcends age brackets.
Which scene was your favorite?
"Thems that dies will be the lucky ones!" spoken by Long John Silver.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely. Who would want to interrupt a great story?
Any additional comments?
Listen to the Timothy West sample. If it rings true for you then buy it.
