This audiobook was excellent, Samuel West's narration was perfect. I remember the old black white film starring Sir Richard Attenborough, so I knew it was a pretty grim story, just not how grim. It's very dark indeed, but so well done that I couldn't stop listening. It reminded me of Peaky Blinders but set in Brighton instead of Birmingham. It definitely makes me want to listen to more Graham Greene on audio.
