Very well written and evenly paced. The various levels of subterfuge is cleverly done, leaving you frustrated and berwilded in turn. It's not 5 from me because I lost interest towards the end when the POV narrowed and became more procedural. It was such a different tone from the rest of the book.
Who doesn't love a WWII spy novel?!
This was totally solid and I wouldn't mind recommending it as a beach read. This is more espionage and less international assassin. More intrigue and less action. But, that's what I appreciated about it.
The one drawback was the incredibly awkward sex scene. I mean INCREDIBLY awkward. On the other hand, Silva wrote surveillance and countersurveillance as well as anyone.
