John le Carré
This dramatisation, set in London in the late 1950s, finds Smiley engaged in the humdrum job of security vetting. But when a Foreign Office civil servant commits suicide after an apparently unproblematic interview, Smiley is baffled. Refusing to believe that Fennan shot himself soon after making a cup of cocoa and asking the exchange to telephone him in the morning, Smiley decides to investigate - only to uncover a murderous conspiracy with its roots in his own secret wartime past.
Starring the award-winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, and with a distinguished cast including Kenneth Cranham, Eleanor Bron, and Anna Chancellor, this tense, thrilling dramatisation perfectly captures the atmosphere of le Carré's masterful début novel.

But "Call for the Dead" isn't an audiobook, it's what we used to call a radio play. With the variety of voices, this one demands total silence while listening; road noise makes much of it inaudible. Consequently, I have an idea of the plot but only a vague grasp of the details.
I'm going to delete this one from my phone's storage. I have enjoyed John leCarre for decades, and I'm fine with rereading favorite books, but "Call for the Dead" was a waste. If I find an unabridged audiobook of it, I might try it again.
From now on, when reading Audible descriptions, I'll be much more careful to avoid dramatizations, especially if the BBC is involved.
Give me reading, not dramatization.

It seems that most of LeCarré's audiobooks have been produced both ways -- dramatized and narrated -- although I couldn't find this particular title in a narrated version. I am now reading the e-book and I am much happier. His writing is wonderful! And I will keep watch for a narrated version as well.
Beware: 'Dramatised' *and* Abridged

Impossible to follow, poorly presented, and a very inferior LeCarre.
