Hugh Laurie
Cold-blooded murder just isn't Thomas Lang's cup of tea. Offered a bundle to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts to warn the intended victim instead - a good deed that soon takes a bad turn. Quicker than he can down a shot of his favorite whiskey, Lang is bashing heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femme fatales.
Up against rogue CIA agents, wannabe terrorists, and an arms dealer looking to make a high-tech killing, Lang's out to save the leggy lady he has come to love...and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.

Excellent story, once you get past the start

Any additional comments?
About what you might expect from this author and the title/genre: a witty thriller with a lot of violence but, happily, a low body count. Also happily, it doesn't suffer from overly low humor, and the hero is neither a bumbling fool nor an egomaniac. He is, however, male, and I think the book skews toward things that male readers like to spend time on: cars, motorcycles, weapons, etc. As a female, I think I would have preferred more character development. But I definitely enjoyed the book, and found it laugh-out-loud funny at times. And although I would love to hear it read sometime by its author, I truly enjoyed the very skilled character portrayals and narration by Simon Prebble.A diverting listen

Best Book

I’m rating this 4/5 only because I think it’s very obvious Laurie wrote this so he could play the lead in a potential adaptation (the main character is tall and thin and great with accents), and falls in love with (or possibly just lusts after) a woman much younger than him. There’s also a few times where the main character ruminates on his philosophy on life and sexuality and gender, and they go a little longer than needed. Otherwise, it’s a very tight, fun thriller with a strong narrative voice.
A twisty espionage novel with a great narrative style

(n.b.: This is one of those thrillers that takes place just before mobile phones and the internet became commonplace, so some of the younger readers/listeners may have to adjust their sense of disbelief.)

My only complaint (and it's a minor one) is that the narrator is incredibly unreliable. I was often listening while trying to do other things and often found myself having to flip back a few minutes and listen again to figure out what just happened.
Great thriller filled with twists and turns

It feels like you are dropped in about a quarter of the way from where the book should have started, and goes from there. several times the book jumps to a new scene with little to no segue like an over eager editor was cut happy. Toward the very end of the book, this is very apparent.
I am very glad that it was included in my membership and that I didn't have to pay for it.
the performance was spot on.
could have been amazing.....

This is a wonderful listen. A good tale, with quite a bit of humor. What is interesting is that Laurie has, so far, resisted the temptation to write "the next chapter".
Again, if you enjoy a fun read, that will drive you to the turn the next page, this is a pick for you.
I have to wonder if it might have been even better, if Laurie had done the narration.
Not Fair
