Great story! Audible can use improvements

Audible makes it so difficult to download and smoothly go from episode to episode.

The story was great!

Loved!

Great storytelling and I loved Rosamund Pike’s narration. This is exactly the kind of fascinating podcast you want to binge on a long road-trip. Another review mentioned if you like West Cork you’ll like this one and I completely agree!

Great story made even better by narrator!

LOVED this. Elegant story telling through perspectives of those most impacted. Can we PLEASE have lots more productions narrated by Rosamund Pike?!

Fascinating! Until you realize it’s a true story…

Then it becomes quite disturbing. Left me wanting more and to research many tentacles of the various people involved in this saga.

Fascinating and exciting

Wow, what can I say. This is the most exciting thing I've listened to. A documentary in a form of a perfect spy action movie. I love that it's a woman's perspective story. It makes it very relatable (as if I'm not enough biased).
And for me it's also a view outside the box (the box that has closed recently and luckily I'm not there anymore). The history that happened not so long ago and you remember all the events as if you were part of them. And you even think, guys, I might have some answers. Rosamund Pike is an excellent narrator. Her voice and emotion makes it so much fun.
Enjoy!!!

Great Performance, interesting story

Interesting story though could have been told more concisely. Interviews of the friends felt repetitive, as stories kept reinforcing that she was outgoing and he was reserved. No payoff since we don't get much of an update on where the illegals are now. Was left feeling that both govts spend an enormous amount of energy in this spy theater for no real purpose.

Great listen while driving

I listen to a lot of Audible books while driving, but this was my first podcast. Where have I been!!! A very intriguing story -- of which I was not aware--although at my age, I probably should have been! Since I listen to most Audibles while driving, there is a fine line between keeping up with the story line and your eye on the road. This was perfect for both. Looking forward to closing more podcasts.
