About this listen

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

I’d like every reviewer who says this is unoriginal to please leave a detailed list of similar books because I really enjoyed this and want so much more!

There are a lot of characters to keep up with, and quite a lot of repeating dialogue (which makes it very easy to follow along with the plot) but both of these lend to a modern, entertaining spy adventure.

I think the trick with this book is to not think too hard about it and you’ll quite enjoy yourself.

This was so fun

I have always loved a good old fashioned treasure hunt with spies all racing to the finish line and a mole amongst them!!! It’s a timeless plot and there were parts in the book where I was hanging on every word. Some of the colour scenes were so well written I was right there with the characters gasping for air with them!!!! A little bit predictable with the Russians and the baddies. I knew very early on who the mole was going to be. But regardless of this, I absolutely loved the book. It was a great read. Entertaining and fun. Argylle is a really endearing character. Pretty awesome first book I believe. Well done Elly Conway. Whomever you are!!!! ;)

From the opening chapter, I knew this book was some special. I started listening and couldn’t stop.
Brilliant story line, well thought out and developed characters, it keeps you guessing on what might happen to the team next. Hoping that book number two is in the pipeline!!
