Dead Spy Running continues to earn excellent reviews: Karen Robinson in The Sunday Times has selected it as her Audio Book of the Week.

"The CIA is hostile to MI6, and MI6 distrusts MI5, which doesn’t want to work with the CIA - but they all dream of placing a western mole in the upper echelons of 'AQ' (work it out). Welcome to the secret services - or their fictional avatars - for the 21st century. Fans of Spooks, the slick and stylish television spy drama, will feel at home in Stock's world: sexy young agents, cunning old chiefs, lots of clever stuff with mobile-phone and surveillance-camera technology, an intriguing sexual technique called the narcissus and an AQ plot to assassinate Barack Obama. From 'Legoland' (the spies' name for MI6's HQ) to Iran to a terrorist lair in a remote Indian village, the pace fizzes and crackles as MI6's Daniel Marchant tries to stay one step ahead of his many enemies. However, if you forgive one ludicrously incredible plot twist, and the disappointingly unsurprising double- and double-double-crosses among the agents, this is a compelling thriller. And audio fans can buy Paul Panting's performance a whole month before the book comes out in print."
