Anyone would think I was a fan of thrillers given how
many I have read recently. But it isn't
my favourite genre. But The Eighth Sister was a very good read
indeed.
It is contemporary – had spies, the CIA, Russia, a
court case and government hijinks. The
original premise perhaps was a little out there but once you buy into that this
book hurtles along.
The first half is a spy thriller and the second half a
courtroom drama – quite a nice balance.
Although I didn't know this author I see that he has
written quite a lot of crime books. The
experience shows.
I liked that the main character was a 64 year old man –
not a James Bond type at all.
I love thrillers especially spy ones!
ReplyDeleteI have had my eye on this author since he is getting the buzz lately. Glad to know this book was good.
