very poor.
I'm usually a great fan of Margery Allingham but I found this story very difficult to follow and completely unbelievable.

Exciting story - twists and turns
Classic MA, quite science fiction in flavour - meets old world UK. Plenty of action and great characterisation by the narrator. Enjoyable to the end.

Not that bad !
this is admittedly one of the more complex Campion plots and with the benefit of several decades of hindsight the technology does seem a bit unlikely , however I don't think it bears the one star reviews slating it , yes it has several groups of characters but they do all come together and need to be there to offer the alternative scenarios without giving the game away the eventual explanation of who is behind the sinister new technology is quite clever .
maybe it's just me but I was able to follow the characters and plot fine and although not one of her best it was perfectly listenable .

Very into the future story line, with a great mystery along the way, read brilliantly again by David Thorpe.

Confusing
I never was much good with stories of espionage! I found this difficult to follow and probably proved I'm a bear of little brain

Complex
Highly complex plot as you would expect from this spy/mystery story - but great fun as always.

Book Not Suitable for Audio
This book is just not suitable for an audiobook. So many characters, so many names, so many events to follow. It would be confusing enough with a paperback but probably doable, as I could look back at some sections and take some notes with character names etc. It would probably help to have a character name before each section, but still, mightily confusing. Head-hopping, character soup. It's not author's best work. Still, some books are just compliecated like that, and producers should know better than to record them. I know, market, money, yes. But don't be surprised when one star reviews show up...

The worst Allingham I’ve read
I’m usually a Margery Allingham fan, but if this were the first one I’d read I’d have never looked at her books again. The plot manages to be both convoluted & boring. I disliked most of the characters & couldn’t care less what happened to them. Not recommended!
