About this listen

A daring CIA operation threatens chaos in the Kremlin. Its execution is foiled by a Russian woman with secret loyalties.

CIA operatives Sia and Max enter Russia to recruit Vladimir Putin's moneyman. Sia works for a London firm that conceals the wealth of the super-rich. Max's family business in Mexico - a CIA front since the 1960s - is a farm that breeds high-end racehorses. They pose as a couple, and their targets are Vadim, Putin's private banker, and his wife Anna, who is both a banker and an intelligence officer. As they descend further into a Russian world dripping with luxury and rife with gangland violence, Sia and Max's hope may be Anna, who is playing a game of her own.

Careening between the horse ranch and the dark opulence of Saint Petersburg, Moscow X is both a gripping thriller of modern espionage and a daring work of political commentary on the conflict between Washington and Moscow.

Good story but the narrator’s accent, particularly for Sia Fox, is bad and makes it difficult to keep concentration.

Confusing accents

Great characters and plot that keeps your interest all the way through set against a current backdrop

Great read

The narration is at times unintelligible - his attempt at tSouth African accent is frankly embarrassing and very hard to understand anything he’s attempting to say in a Russian accent, for the rest of the time his voice sounds like it’s on fast forward and I’m not sure he’s ever read a book before. This guy really ruins what is a good story. If you are easily annoyed by terrible narration don’t purchase this audiobook

Narration is horrendous

I was worried about the narration because of other reviews, but I didn’t find it bad at all. Okay the South African accent wasn’t perfect but it didn’t ruin it for me at all

Really enjoyed it

I wish narrators would stop persisting with accents they can’t do! The hopeless South African accent in this story detracts from the character and spoils the story. The story itself is interesting although a bit long winded. 50 pages less and it would have been better

A bit long winded and irritating narration

Once I had sorted the characters in this it became an excellent spy story and better for it being kept rooted in a believable, if alien, world.. Great story, gripping to the end.

Gripping Yarn

A gripping modern day espionage triller. great character development. not too 'goodies and baddies' Both sides are messy and ambivalent. South Afican accent is difficult for the best of narrators , but I could get over it and remained in the story .

excellent contemporary spy story

The narrator was good but his English and South African accents were terrible which I found rather distracting

Quite entertaining but I was ultimately disappointed

The story is interesting, yet the narrator is unsuitable for this audiobook.

The narrator is hard to understand; words are often rushed, and sentences are too frequently unclear.

This may be due to the accent or style of reading of Andrew B. Wehrlen, but it makes it unbearable when you need to pause and re-listen to sentences to understand what was said. This is the second book that I could not listen to because of his style, which is disappointing as I want to listen to or read the book.

If the speaker changes I will revisit this book as I stopped at chapter 10 as it was too frustrating and ruined a good story.

This review comes from a native English speaker so it may be harder for non-native speakers.

Terrible choice of voice

Just tell the story, avoid the unnecessary verbal ticks and have a go at better training for international accents. Sorry pal, but you’re not contributing to a good story.

Desperate narration.
