About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

In The Night Manager, an ex-soldier helps British Intelligence penetrate the secret world of ruthless arms dealers.

At the start of it all, Jonathan Pine is merely the night manager at a luxury hotel. But when a single attempt to pass on information to the British authorities - about an international businessman at the hotel with suspicious dealings - backfires terribly, and people close to Pine begin to die, he commits himself to a battle against powerful forces he cannot begin to imagine.

In a chilling tale of corrupt intelligence agencies, billion-dollar price tags and the truth of the brutal arms trade, John le Carré creates a claustrophobic world in which no one can be trusted.

The description’s of people and places is brilliant. Cynical but believable plot. Hard to put down, so to speak.

Superb Quality writing

The premise was excellent. However I think I would have had difficulty following the plot if I hadn’t seen the miniseries first. The end while obvious was not well explained.

Great story
