When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. She's worked with the revered crime writer for years, and his detective, Atticus Pund, is renowned for solving crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. As Susan knows only too well, vintage crime sells handsomely. It's just a shame that it means dealing with an author like Alan Conway.... But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems.

An intriguing mystery
Revisado: 02-15-21
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book, a well crafted mystery with good performances by the narrators. An easy and entertaining listen.

Historia3.5 out of 5 stars 35
Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make-or-break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot-com buyout that could make them all millionaires or leave some of them out in the cold. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder to get what they want?

Disappointing- both the narrative and narration
Revisado: 02-15-21
I did not finish listening to this audio book for a number of reasons - the story line was repetitive, drawn out and became tedious while the reader's differing voices never really convinced and often proved irritating. The avalanche that started the drama could well have been caused by the constant thudding of hearts, shaking bodies and plummeting stomachs - I lost count of the number of times Ware used these descriptions. Jokes aside this was a disappointing audio experience.

Nat, a 47-year-old veteran of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, believes his years as an agent runner are over. He is back in London with his wife, the long-suffering Prue. But with the growing threat from Moscow Centre, the office has one more job for him. Nat is to take over The Haven, a defunct substation of London General with a rag-tag band of spies. The only bright light on the team is young Florence, who has her eye on Russia Department and a Ukrainian oligarch with a finger in the Russia pie.

Why on earth did John le Carre read this
Revisado: 11-28-20
le Carre, while a brilliant writer, should never have read his book. He sounded every one of his 89 years ( the protagonist he is meant to be is 47), breathy and very hard to listen to without thoughts of the need for supplemental oxygen constantly crossing ones mind. In the end I abandoned the audible version and downloaded it on my Kindle. A big fat rotten tomato to Penguin for this audible version.
