Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie Muffin [Audio Cassette]

Brian Freemantle (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Charlie Muffin (neither the man nor his name) doesn't fit anyone's view of an international spy. He's a poor dresser, getting old, happily married, and hated by both the CIA and British Intelligence. Soon the directive goes out: Deal with Charlie--permanently. Narrator Hayward Morse is splendid with a huge cast of characters from the world over. Not only does he enliven a typical spy story, he also gives each person noticeable eccentricities (more than Freemantle's words convey), adding sparkle to the story. Great intrigue for espionage buffs. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
