Summary
The beautiful Tessa Quayle is murdered near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, the birthplace of mankind. And her putative African lover and travelling companion has vanished from the scene of the crime. Tessa’s husband, a career diplomat and amateur gardener at the British High Commission in Nairobi, sets out on a personal odyssey in pursuit of the killers and their motive. On his way he meets terror, violence, and conspiracy, but his greatest discovery is the woman he barely had time to love.

The forms of integrity and their antithesis
For me, what I enjoyed was the depth of the illustrations of integrity and their antithesis. I enjoyed some of the detailed description of the pharma industry less.

Not so sure.
Bit of a slow starter, and got confused with the characters but as it was a daily deal can't complain. Story line sounds good but is quite slow paced for my liking.

An absolute feast of plot, characterisation, structure and tension
This is arguably the marstro’s masterwork and it is here superbly read. Surely an absolute ‘must’ for any audible library of contemporary literature.

Excellent
A classic John Le Carré. A little slow and complex in parts but still a joy to listen to.

Thoughtful
Gripping story, well read, with good variety of voices. The main character believable and imagined sensitively.

Excellent narration
Overall a good story but rather long-winded.at times Story told through a lot of flashbacks and performed excellently by Michael Jason.
