About this listen
'One of Britain's most visionary writers' David Peace
A breath-taking contemporary thriller for readers of Robert Harris, John le Carré and Martin Cruz Smith
When a government minister is shot there are many suspects but few leads. Days before the attempted assassination, Charlotte Waites, a Home Office analyst, dismissed a crucial intel flag and now has to account for her actions. Dragged into a web of intrigue that will draw in everybody from the prime minister to her ailing father, she must try to get the bottom of the mystery while confronting dark secrets from her family's past.
Complex, gripping and deftly-handled, Ghost Country is work of staggering imagination that, from Northern Ireland to Covid, looks at the complexities of Britain's recent history and distils them into an unforgettable literary thriller.©2022 Chris Petit (P)2022 Simon & Schuster, UK

Critic reviews
"One of Britain's most visionary writers." (David Peace)
Why! McMahon? When you had Saskia Reeves for the previous books? What were you thinking.
She does the most annoying ‘man’ voice, like a child would do impersonating a grown up. It’s shocking. Awful. As bad a man camping it up being a women. It’s not based on any truth or authentic realness. In fact, it distriyed the book and made every male figure a total joke. It’s like she does big bad Wolf impressions. Producers should be very ashamed.
I love Chris Pettit. But her reading meant the story remained truly dead.
Hopeless and Lazy. Avoid.
Oh what a terrible shame and waste. Avoid.
