    About this audiobook

    In this wickedly funny sequel to MI5 and Me, it is the 1950s, and reluctant typist and spy's daughter Lottie has had the bad luck to fall in love with Harry, a handsome if frustrated young actor, who has been press-ganged into the family business as an undercover agent in the Communist hotbed of British theatre. Together the young lovers embark on a star-studded adventure through the glittering world of theatre - but between missing files, disapproving parents, and their own burgeoning creative endeavours, life is about to become very complicated indeed.
