A well written pacy thriller in the spy genre. I had to suspend an element of disbelief about a key premise in the plot but with that out of the way I enjoyed this a lot. Clever and original.
About a fourth of the way through, I thought this was going to be a fairly standard, rather predictable spy novel. Then the twists started! Not perhaps a great work of literary art, but a thoroughly enjoyable read. I reached the end wishing there was more and will definitely see what else this author has written.
