Publisher's Summary

Relentless, gritty and full of unexpected twists, The Night Manager is John le Carré's 14th novel, and it is every bit as enthralling as his earlier works, like the best-selling The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

The night manager is Jonathan, a veteran of clandestine operations. In flight from a failed marriage and his own past, he has taken refuge in the luxury hotel trade. Yet he finds no escape from his demons. Driven by a desire for atonement and by an inherited patriotism, Jonathan allows himself to be recruited as a British secret agent with a mission to expose the murderer of the woman he himself betrayed. His odyssey takes him across Britain and Canada to the Caribbean and the jungles of Panama. But there are more treacherous jungles still in Whitehall and Washington.

An incredible performance for a wonderful story!

Really enjoyed my time listening to this audiobook. It's a fairly long story around 20 or so hours. But it doesn't feel tedious to listen to because of the amazing voice performance of Michael Jayston. He has to be one of the best story tellers out there. I loved the way he characterized the various POV's in the story.
Story wise the plot was really good with a lot of detail into the thoughts of Jonathan Pine who's the protagonist. It helps us to get attached and feel for him.
Personally was a little bit disappointed with the ending, was expecting a deeper and lengthier epilogue and so it kind of felt that the story ended abruptly. But other than that, it is among the best books ever written by John le Carre.
