I figured out the who of the whodunnit almost immediately, which made the reveal a little less climactic and a lot of the leadup feel like fluff. The beginning of the book, pre-CIA really captured my imagination with its richly detailed settings, but that quickly faded when the action kind of took over. I'm just not much into reading action/adventure/mystery.
It wasn't necessarily a bad book, just probably not the best book for this reader. I will definitely be watching the movie though!

The ebook is poorly edited, with duplicate words, extra words left in some places, words dropped, and the second word in one chapter is Grance… instead of France.
