This classic mystery is well done with many small adventures with every chapter. Hitchcock did a great film of this story of espionage and intrigue just before WW2. Without car chases, computers, or many fire arms that make up so many of today's thrillers, Buchan maintains a great pace in this book.
Great classic mystery

For instance, those productions all left me with the impression that the story was set in the period immediately before World War Two. In fact, this story was published in 1915 and involves the period leading up to the FIRST World War. And the most radical change from the book is the addition in many versions of a lovely young woman who accompanies the hero in his frantic dash across England in an attempt to foil the plans of a band of conspirators who want to begin a war by assassinating a foreign official.
This original version of the story was a great listening experience, with excellent narration by David Thorn, who handled various regional dialects and foreign accents with great skill. At the price (only $1.95 for members), you will get more than your money's worth.
Highly recommended.
Excellent Classic Espionage Novel

I thought the reader did an excellent job.
I could well imagine Alfred Hitchcock making a movie of this -- it was fast paced and mysterious in parts.
I could detect influences of other writers of his time.
The only complaint I might make is that the book's plot is a bit simplistic compared to contemporary suspense work.
Enjoyable escapism
