The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Story
My husband and I are fighting for our lives in hospital after a terrible car accident. But despite my pain, all I can think about is what our families will find behind our front door. The scarf that has been all over the news, belonging to a dead young woman with honey-coloured hair. I have to speak to the police before my husband can. I’m drifting in and out of consciousness, but when I hear my wife talking to the police, accusing me of the murder of an innocent woman, a cold fear grips me. I know I’ve got a temper.

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

The Story Was Good
I liked the story, but I did not really care for the narrator, I had read the story previously on Kindle, but the audio did not live up to the printed version.. I have noticed that the next stories in the series have a different narrator, so I am optimistic. I received this audiobook for free and this is my voluntary review.

Not an auspicious start
Usually I insist on starting at the beginning of a series and working through it. This time, I started in a random place (London) and it was much better than this first “episode”. If you like the premise, keep going. The narrator that joins later is much better and the writing is more active and less strangely introspective.

Enjoyable spy novella...
Quick and entertaining read for anyone wanting a fast-paced uncomplicated spy story that can be enjoyed in one sitting. The main characters were likeable and well-developed considering the brevity of the story. I do not wish to be harsh, but I felt the narrator of the audio version gave a rather flat performance. In my opinion, his cadence and lack of emotion diminished the tension and flattened the personalities of the characters. I do think he managed to distinguish each character with unique vocal characteristics but, at times, I had the impression that I was listening to a text-to-speech program or an AI voice.
While I did purchase a copy of this book, the author gifted me with a code for the audio version and the above is my honest and unbiased review.

Good story.
I really enjoyed the story line. The dialogue parts of the narration were good but the rest of the narration reminded me of text to speech.

Maxwell Smart Meets The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Clearly something so over the top is meant to be parody! Ian Fleming glamorized the Cold War, Agents Solo and Kuryakin added sly humor and of course Maxwell Smart upped the ante to slapstick. SpyCo is a throwback to the marvelous yarns of yesteryear with derring do and bullets flying and bodies piling up in the corridors as the "good guys" rappel down a cliff in Greece. While vocalizing the characters expertly, narrator Anthony Lee [AUDIO] seemed to add a deliberate heavy-handedness hinting at stuffy bureaucracy behind the freewheeling agents. Ah, nostalgia! I enjoyed this thoroughly!

This book fell a little flat with me
What worked? There was lots of action, and I loved that the female lead is an agent and not just fluff. The characters are well developed.
What didn't work? The bad guys continually did the 'bad guy monologue' allowing the good guys to get into position to defeat them. Yes, this is the classic formula, but it's so unrealistic and stereotypical that I find it disappointing. In fact the whole book was predictable and there were no surprises.
If you want something short that you can listen to that doesn't take a lot of concentration then this book might work for you.
The narration was also a bit disappointing. Overall it was OK, but only OK. The character voices for the main characters worked, but the bad guys tended to have really odd voices that were humorously ridiculous sounding. The delivery was a bit flat, there was lots of action in the book which sounded very dull when read like this. Fr me none of the tension or anticipation of the story came across in the narration.
I received this book free from the narrator/publisher/author in exchange for an honest review.

Just did not work for me . . .
I am not one to typically give harsh reviews, but this particular work did not deliver any sort of value as a takeaway for the time spent listening. The level of espionage was at a sophomoric level being both shallowly developed and rather predicable and mundane. Although the narrator, Anthony Lee, has done several other Audible titles, this one seemed to be out of his voice range. The character accents seemed forced and inconsistent. In all honesty, the part of the book I found most pleasurable was completing the listenas this just did not work for me in any aspect. Sorry.
A review copy of this audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in return for this unbiased review. My hope is that this review helps in your decision to obtain this book.

Next one please!
Though short and sweet, its action packed and drew me in right from the beginning. The narrator did a great job giving each character a unique voice so it's easy to follow; however, the inflection of the overall narration was a bit odd and slightly distracting. All in all, an entertaining listen. I look forward to listening to the next book in the series. I received this audiobook at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Enjoyable novella, narrator didn't work for me
I was interested in this series after having listened to and enjoyed several books in Craig A. Hart’s Shelby Alexander series. Hart has teamed up with S.J. Varengo to bring a series of fun thriller novellas to life. At less than two hours to read, these would be best enjoyed by readers who are looking for quick missions and witty banter. While each story has a complete storyline, subsequent books build on characters and events from previous books, so you’ll want to read these in order.
Assignment: Athens introduces SpyCo (yes, really), it’s taciturn leader J. Carlton Moore, and agents James Burke and Lindsey Archer. Burke, code name: Tiger and Lindsey, code name: Venus are tasked with recovering a stolen briefcase leading them to Greece. Just traveling turns out to be perilous and once they arrive it’s apparent there are forces working against them from more than one agency. Adding to the tension is the fact that Burke & Lindsey have a previous personal relationship.
This was an entertaining read and I’m looking forward to the next book, Assignment: Paris.
Narration:
I had such a difficult time with the narration by Anthony Lee that I stopped listening and just read the book. His main voice was OK though somewhat robotic/AI sounding. However, outside of Burke, almost everyone’s speaking voice had an identical unidentifiable accent no matter what the text indicated they should sound like.
