- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/54/5I am fairly new to the world of Audio-books and found this a bit confusing at first. I had to listen to the first CD twice before I could work out who the characters were and which side they were on. One of the previous reviewers filled in a bit of the history of Paul Temple in their review, which really helped to explain some of the idiosyncracies that had confused me - I think a short piece of background to the characters and their history would have made my first listening much less confusing.While the story was a bit dated and James Bond-esque, the reading by Anthony Head made up for all the flaws in the plot and this CD has greatly eased the driving I've been doing this week. The numerous assorted voices were wonderful and brought to life a novel that I would not have chosen to read but thoroughly enjoyed listening to.The story was based around a spy ring, led by the mysterious Z4. Temple and his wife Steve (?!) stumble into the midst of murder and intrigue and escape from impossible situations as we race to the solution at the end - all in the best of taste!I will certainly be on the look-out for more audio-books read by Anthony Head and would be more than happy to hear more Paul Temple stories.
