Wow!!

Rosamund Pike has done a great job narrating this great story. It kept me hooked right from the start. The performance, the music and the flow was very good. I look forward to more audio programs like this.

Thoroughly enjoyed - life is stranger than fiction!

Binge listened to this over a day after seeing a Rosamund Pike clip talking about the story on TikTok lol - fascinating story, so weird to see all the tropes about Russian spies (think Angelina Jolie Salt, Jennifer Lawrence Red Sparrow etc) probably being only slightly exaggerated versions of real life.

Really enjoyed the series, narration and interviews ✨

Captivating!

Captivating! It certainly left my wondering about the true motivations of these two spies who were willing to sacrifice everything for their country.

Interesting

It was interesting but it was rather “lock-step”. It lacked tension or suspense. Factual but straight forward.
