Tom Hollander imbues le Carré’s infamous spy with steely conviction in new audiobook
Six decades after his debut in Call for the Dead, George Smiley is no less compelling
John le Carré
A Legacy of Spies
by John le Carré (read by Tom Hollander)
Penguin
A Legacy of Spies begins in the present but rewinds credibly to the past: Smiley protégé Peter Guillam is summoned to account for some of M16’s more egregious investigative methods. This pitting of old against new strikes sparks, as Guillam tries to outfox his interrogators. The real duel is between Guillam and Smiley, who cross swords in a necessarily wordy and – given their combined age – stationary climax. Thank heavens then for Tom Hollander, who reads with steely conviction.
