review 1: I really enjoy Charles Cumming's writing, and this was no exception. I would give this a 3.5. The only reason it doesn't get a 4 from me is that the foreshadowing of one of the character's fate had me already suspecting cerrtain events. That, mixed with my usual confusion with spy novel plots, made it somewhat predictable, and yet confusing as always. But, the protagonist, Tom Kell, was in a previous novel, and I enjoyed reading about him again. I find the writing better than average,the plots intricate and clever, the locales exotic, and I continue to look forward to new Cumming books.
review 2: It took awhile to get into this book. When a British spy is killed while piloting a small airplane, disgraced British agent Tom Kell is called to look into the matter... more and determine whether the accident was just that or whether the man was killed. Tom finds out that the dead agent thought there was a mole in either the British agency or the CIA who was giving the names of informants to the Soviets. Tom focuses on one CIA agent and the teams move in. less
