markm reviewed The untouchable by John Banville
Review of 'The untouchable' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I had to read most of this to realize how good it was. He is, of course, a great writer, but I was bored until about the 50% mark. In the second half of the book, its structure struck me. Reminiscent of the best Le Carré and also Graham Greene; where the deception of the characters is reflected at all levels of the story's architecture.
