It is a richly intriguing tale about high intrigue, though at times a trifle uncertain...

Cath Clarke

RTGuardianApr 28, 2011

This is a satisfyingly sober thriller, almost melancholy in tone - and as morally complex as a John Le Carr novel.

RTLittle White LiesApr 28, 2011

The tale of a truly fascinating but little-known espionage operation is told with panache and a dynamic central pairing.

It’s ultimately difficult to envision most viewers finding much within L’Affaire Farewell worth embracing...
