Historia
Charlotte is a British expatriate who has recently settled in the nation’s capital with her second husband, a man who looks intriguingly like Clark Gable, but her enviable dinner parties and soirées aren’t the only things she is planning. Meanwhile, Charlie Leigh-Hunt has been posted to Washington as a replacement for Guy Burgess, last seen disappearing around the corner and into the Soviet Union. Charlie is soon shocked to cross paths with Charlotte, an old flame of his, who, thanks to all her gossipy parties, has a packed pocketbook full of secrets she is eager to share.

Historia
It’s London, the Swinging '60s, and by all rights, MI6 spy Joe Wilderness should be having as good a time as James Bond. But alas, his postings are more grim than glamorous. Luckily, Wilderness has a knack for doing well for himself even in the most unpromising postings - though this has gotten him into hot water in the past. A coffee-smuggling gig in divided Berlin was a steady money-maker, but things went pear-shaped when he had to smuggle a spy back to the KGB instead.

Disappointing,; worth the listen if you are a fan
Revisado: 10-06-20
So many times listening to this I found myself thinking - really ? I am a long term Louise Penny fan and I love Paris ,but I found this book disappointing - even dragging at points. Excellent narrator. I'm quite willing to suspend bebecelief - but this pushed my limits. Maybe they just need to get back to Quebec. I had never found the character's trite or even unbelievable before.

Swept away by the story
Revisado: 09-26-20
I don’t want to give this story away - I enjoyed the journey too much. The Narrator was perfect I felt like I was hearing the author speak her book. It conveyed well the everyday ness of spying - how it would infiltrate a life - How you could just slip into it. I wish I nee more about Juliet’s later life - about the child she had. I was sorry for this book to end

I was initially put off by the very vivid, extreme violence, but found myself drawn in. Lots of twists and turns, up to the end. The stories, many years apart, , were very skillfully woven , slowly together.. Characters skillfully developed, revealing more about themselves. Interesting bits of history I highly recommend this .

Historia
From its opening minutes on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California, where he struggled with drug addiction, and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, we see how his engagement with patients comes to define his life.

Revisado: 02-21-16
This book felt like a meander through Oliver Sack's life. What a thought provoking pleasure. Opened up many things to think about as well as being very entertaining. The barrator detracted greatly from the experience mispronouncing words and names Disappointing and surprising given audibles usual quality. Am hoping that other Oliver Sacks books have a different narrator if not will read tgem
