About this listen

In June 1952, a woman was murdered by an obsessive colleague in a hotel in South Kensington. Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young was perhaps unsurprising, but that she had survived the Second World War was remarkable. She was one of Britain’s most daring and highly decorated secret agents, and the intelligence she gathered was a significant contribution to the Allied war effort.

Critic Reviews

"Engrossing…as thrilling as any fiction" ( Mail on Sunday)
"Compulsively readable... Clare Mulley…has written a thrilling book, and paid overdue homage to a difficult woman who seized life with both hands" ( Sunday Telegraph)
"A stunning biographical achievement." (Alison Weir)
All stars
Most relevant  
I loved this account of a brave and flawed woman who was a genuine hero of WW2.
A brilliant narration by Maggie Mash made this a thoroughly enjoyable biography of a woman that I had not ever heard of before The Spy Who Loved. I am glad I know about her now.
Recommended.
