À propos de cet audio

For Charlie Hillier, a posting to Cuba could be the perfect place to start his new life - if he survives it.

With his career stalled and the office abuzz about his soon-to-be-ex-wife's indiscretions, Ottawa bureaucrat Charlie Hillier is desperate for a change. So when the chance at a posting to the Canadian embassy in Havana comes up, he jumps at it, grateful to get as far away as he can from his ex and his dead-end job at Foreign Affairs headquarters.

At first, exotic Havana seems just the place to bury his past and start anew, but he didn't count on finding a couple of kilos of cocaine under his bedroom floor, the kidnapping of a fellow diplomat, or the unsettling connection he uncovers between the former occupant of his house and a Colombian drug-runner. Before long, Charlie's only concern is whether he'll survive his posting at all.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A highly entertaining, fast-paced mystery." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A bit of romance, a bit of gentle humor, several bits of official corruption and drug-related violence, and a chance for the mild-mannered hero to rise to an impossible challenge." ( Kirkus Reviews)

I enjoyed it. It’s a light story, a good listen while gardening and driving. I’d buy the next one.

Entertaining

This book could have been finished in 5 minutes if it weren't for the fact that the incompetence of the hero got himself into this mess; and it was only through his own incompetence that the story was resolved. In fairness though, he does work for the Canadian government so that could explain his incompetence.

Poorly executed

I was hoping for a lot of action but it took a very long time to get going. 3 hours in and not muxh had happened.
The worst part is that we don't care about the protagonist. He is very flat.
I persevered because I had already invested time, but I do not recommend.
The higlight is the reader who has a voice that emotes and can do accents.

A bit boring
