Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Three men meet on a ship bound for Haiti, a world in the grip of the corrupt 'Papa Doc' and the Tontons Macoute, his sinister secret police. Brown the hotelier, Smith the innocent American and Jones the confidence man - these are the 'comedians' of Graham Greene's title. Hiding behind their actors' masks, they hesitate on the edge of life. And, to begin with, they are men afraid of love, afraid of pain, afraid of fear itself.

Great story but not much comedy
Set in Haiti near the end of Papa Doc’s vicious regime the story is pervaded by an aura of menace as the Tonton Macoute kill and injure anyone they please. Against this backdrop are the stories of flawed people who nevertheless elicit sympathy as they try to make the best of their lives. The central character hotelier Mr Brown is a familiar Graham Greene character full of regrets, embroiled in a tempestuous affaire with a married woman and still carrying the guilt of a lapsed Catholic. As with other if the author’s books I leave with a sense of sadness for the characters I’ve lived with for many hours.
The narrator is outstanding.

One of the best Graham Greene audiobooks
I’ve been a lifelong Greene fan and know his books so well that I approached this recording with a degree of apprehension, concerned that it might have nothing new to offer. I was wrong. Adrian Lukis was superb, doing all the voices and catching the essence of all the characters brilliantly. I found it much more moving than I’d anticipated and was genuinely sad to finish it.

Superbly read - a classic Graham Greene novel
The narrator, Adrian Lukis, reads this classic with wit, verve and at exactly the right pace. His treatment of the American couple, the Smiths, is humane and humourous. The novel itself is beyond reproach - love, betrayal, loyalty are the classic themes, set in the exotic environment of Haiti leading to a conclusion which echoes life.

So many voices!
Graham Greene is a masterful writer, that goes without saying - and Adrian Lukis' ability to bring Greene's characters to life is truly impressive. I lost count but he voices at least 17 characters, and each one is so distinct, you never lose sight of who they are. Between them, Greene and Lukis bring this very particular time in Haitian history to life.

Excellent audio version of Greene's novel
I have read Greene's The Comedians many times and appreciate the novelist's skill in creating and depicting complex characters, human interactions and the environment surrounding the story. This audio version, with very good narration by Adrian Lukis, provides a different, and effective, experience of the novel. Lukis narrates in a measured, slightly dry delivery appropriate to the tone of Greene's text, but skillfully manages voice changes for character development. I could wish for better pronunciation of French words and phrases at times (final syllable in "Haïtien" an example), but this is a minor quibble. I highly recommend this audiobook and applaud Adrian Lukis' narration.

Marvellous.
Having read and listened to most of Graham Greene’s novels this is the best. It’s very timely with recent events in Haiti. It appears nothing has changed despite being on Americas back door. Greene’s description of the the country and system of government is wonderful. His writings are timeless and unusual being written in the first person.

A weighty story, old philosophy
I enjoyed the personal stories and relationships more than the old ‘comedian’ or existential part-playing philosophy being illustrated, which I find dry and empty. Though the philosophy illustrates some truth in how people may choose to divert themselves from reality, escape it, or give up the mask and face it.
The narrator’s character voices drifted at times, but I warmed to him through the novel.

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.
