In this episode we continue to look at John le Carré’s 2003 novel, Absolute Friends.





Shane Whaley, host of the Spybrary podcast, is back to break down all of the action in this novel.





We talk about the dramatic end of the novel, Mundy and Sasha’s motives and talk about the dangers of entrapment.





Plus, an unexpected change in point of view that le Carré deploys at the end of the book?
