Starts slowly but builds well and the ending is gripping. The Spanish civil war & its ramifications are horrifying and fascinating and Sansom's novel feels accurate and largely believable. I suspect that what ever its publication date it is quite an early novel, the quality of the writing is not as good as the Shardlake series; occasionally repetitive and some of the characters are more caricature than fully fleshed.

Een mooi boek dat zich afspeelt in Madrid aan het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Ik wilde de laatste 50 bladzijdes niet lezen omdat ik bang was dat het einde me totaal niet zou bevallen. Maar je moet het uiteindelijk toch uitlezen om daar achter te komen.
Ik zou het een 9 willen geven, maar helaas

The epilogue really changed my mind on this book - but maybe that was the point?
