This was a fine conclusion to the trilogy. By the third book the plot became repetitive. The end was satisfying enough.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series! Although I’m not sure I’m happy with the outcome!! Although I completely recommend reading this trilogy I was not please with the ending of this book!

This book was an improvement over part II. The overall idea behind the series and the character detail really drive it. Some of the believability of it is lacking, but it is a fiction book, so that shouldn't be a big deal. The use of locations and nuance to move the story along is appreciated as is the food details. It still brings a smile to my face to see what is listed as the recipe at the end of each chapter.

I loved this series, I love Matthews' style, I love the intrigue and the cities and the travel and the food and the espionage and the drama. I'm so sad it's over! A worthy end to the trilogy

Very disappointed with the ending of this trilogy. This book seemed like Matthews had nothing left to say...or perhaps he was just done with the story. This one seem predictable from the start and the last couple of chapters were just horrible. I was impressed with #1 and #2, but this ending left a lot to be desired.

A great ending!

As the last in the trilogy, this book ratcheted up the action and the plot twists. Thoroughly entertaining - and eerily prescient of the nefarious actions of Putin's Russia. Highly recommended!
