review 1: This is pure "real life" fiction, where the current events of the day are mirrored in the novel. The POTUS meeting with Allon is described just as he is in 2014. The state of the political correctness of the CIA makes them suspect to work with. A democratic Republic like the USA ...

review 1: I never read any of the Daniel Silva books until I landed onto The Defector and I don't even remember how, but after reading it I'm in complete awe with the way he has managed the whole story. Woven so beautifully, even little things which are lying somewhere in the background ap...

review 1: The 1st book I read from Daniel Silva , was "the English Girl" I rated it with 6 Stars. So why this book was only 3 stars, I don't know. Part of it was that the story in my view was too shallow. It felt as if Silva had some idea of a book, and tried to fill up some 400 pages. The...

review 1: I confess to a presupmtion - that being to have come to consider Gabriel and Chiara freinds. While reading most anyone of Sylvas stories I am in the company of my friedns. To finish the book is to see freids walk out my door leaving me to wonder when I will see them again. How lo...

review 1: Another perfect airplane book, or recuperate-in-bed-day book. Did have a good line: Shamron had always believed careers were defined less by the successes achieved that the calamities survived. The seesaw of quiet Cornwallian contemplation thumped up and down by terrorist attacks...

review 1: I am now addicted to Daniel Silva novels. This one is fast-paced, interesting and keeps you wanting to read more! I never tire of Gabriel Allon and all of the exciting places which he travels to. There are always many twists and turns in all of Silva's work. The transitions are...

review 1: The latest in the Gabriel Allon series, and another fun installment for the spy/art restorer. In The Heist, a former MI6 agent is found murdered in his Lake Como residence, and Allon is called to investigate, as it involves several missing pieces of art worth millions of dollars...

review 1: I liked the book and think it is more interesting to read on an electronic reader with internet so that you can look up some of the artwork and even some of the places. My only criticism is that it is too much like the others I have read by this author. And when he refers to th...

review 1: I love Gabrielle Allon! What's not to like about an art restorer who works on Caravaggios etc., but also helps rid the world of bad people? His ethics really stand out in this story, and I nearly cried as he stands over his friend as he heals. As always, I am on to the next on...
