MIss King, an Ashenden Spy Detective Story by Somerset Maugham 

Thankyou for these. I burned through this author’s work at an early age( young teens) and now that I’m 70’ I can do it again but with more care!

Come on! No comments...Maugham is one of the greats of English literature!!!!

He’s brilliant always underrated! I read him extensively while living in the far east for many years. He really got the atmosphere spot on! Thank you 😃

This is very enjoyable. Thank you for creating this channel ❤

I would love to do voice overs. I read many of his stories in my teens. Listening to the shorts in the evening for wind down time. I’m always quarrying the ending. Always wanting more. Never fall asleep first. After three short stories I have to stop and count sheep for sleep. Certainly am not getting six to eight hours of sleep. You have a wonderful group of writers to choose from. Many of these stories and books I have reread several times. It is like coming home to a familiar homestead. I may no longer live in the building but the blue ceded is in good shape sprawling over the front porch. The crab apple may be in flower depending on the month or year. Oh my they cut down the original and now it’s a white flowering tree. It is no longer pink. The big oak in the back is my roost for reading but my husband thinks 68 is too old for climbing trees. I gaze fondly at my chair ( leaning branch that stretch’s out from the trunk) is the perfect lounge chair.

"Of human bondage" if you have not read it, you should! The Moon and sixpence" as well!

These are priceless.

Great. As, always.

The Painted Veil❤

I'm just a few minutes in and already hooked. You got yourself another sub.

I love the reader. Strong enunciation, inflection, theater background . S M requires attention to catch the subtle meaning. Thanks for posting.

This has gotta be A.I. narration.

Hehe fantastic, after spending most of my life abroad I wonder if in my last moments I shall say ‘ England’ .

Yes! Great! Thank You! Excellent!!!🦩⚜️✨✨✨

👏👏👏👏🙏💕

Why does his stories always tend to end with an anti climax?

What was the point of the end.????

Rather badly read. Sometimes I have to mentally re-wind and re-read the words mentally to grasp the meaning of the sentences, since the reader seems to have little or no comprehension of the sentences he's reading.

52min…

45min…

Weird ending.

Climax with an aunty !

I thought it was a very good book , with a very lame ending .... Disappointing .

Thank you 🙏 but darn what a cliffhanger to end this story on 💯is there by chance any further parts to this brilliant story. Respectfully, Grace 🩰

It's like a story half finished and I feel like I wasted an hour of my life, in that I could have been doing something else.
