What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.
The globe-trotting spy thriller that inspired the upcoming action blockbuster Argylle , featuring a star-studded cast including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Cena, directed by Matthew Vaughn of Kingsman trilogy fame.
One Russian magnate's dream of restoring a nation to greatness has set in motion a chain of events which will take the world to the brink of chaos. Only Frances Coffey, the CIA's most legendary spymaster, can prevent it. But to do so, she needs someone special.

Enter Argylle. His life came to a crashing halt as a teenager. Since when he has been treading water, building barriers between himself and the world. Until one moment of compassion and brilliance will bring him to the attention of the most powerful woman in the secret world.

Coffey knows all about Argylle's dark past. She knows it haunts him. But she also knows it may give him the skills to join the team going up against one of the most powerful men in the world. His crash course in espionage will take him from the jungles of Thailand to the boulevards of Monaco, from the monasteries of Mount Athos to a forgotten cavern buried deep in the mountains.

It is a deathly rollercoaster ride that will either make him - or break him...
‘The most incredible spy franchise since Ian Fleming’ Matthew Vaughn

Great plot, I was worried for the first ten minutes but then it really took off and I was hooked. And I really liked that it was one voice reading the whole thing, I hate two or more people reading, itu2019s a jolt when it changes. I donu2019t think the production people appreciate how much better it is with one narrator. An utterly competent one at that, with an easy to understand pronunciation and a pleasing comfortable mild accent.

Wasnu2019t too keen on the narrator but if you can deal with an American who says u201cinneressingu201d instead of interesting it is a fantastic listen. Was actually a book that made me turn on xigxag while doing the dishes just cause I wanted to know what happens next!
