    Very good KGB spy ****, and all that...Definitely recommend.
    Listened to the audiobook a couple of weeks ago. Terrific stuff.

    I love Ben.

    I don't normally approve of traitors - even when they're on the right side - but I have to say that old Oleg has my admiration.

    The brass balls on that boy.

    The cars, the baby, the nappy... What a top tale.

    You like your books a bit paddy, don't you? Are you a fan of Joseph O'Connor? I liked his Star of the Sea. Anyway, Shadowplay is rather fun. It's got thon Bram Stoker and Henry Irving in, for all love!

    Also, I'm currently listening to Court Number One: The Old Bailey Trials that Defined Modern Britain. Recommended.

    It was the thing of going into the Ljubjanka knowing they were onto him that impressed me.

    I did like Star of the Sea (although it stole Wuthering Heights' narrative structure wholesale) and am wondering what to do with my remaining Audible Credit this month. I shall give it a whirl. Ta.

    btw, if you're on the lookout for a new podcast, there's one with James Holland and Al Murray that discusses much WWII minutiae called 'We have ways of making you talk' (terrible title, I know) and is really quite fun, nerdy and interesting.

    Nice, thank you, I will subscribe.

    Another nice Audible recommendation I have for you is A Gentleman in Moscow... I've only listened to the first chapter but I liked it so much I'm saving it for the drive to 't Lakes next week.
