. Happened to be watching the Americans while reading this. Next time I wouldn't overlap.
The themes seemed duplicative.
Recipes were interesting
Would consider reading the second in the trilogy.

it just got so slow and boring towards the end, it was so hard to pick up
Library took back my ebook. Waiting to get it back.
Finally finished! I will definitely have to be more careful with popular titles. That's the 2nd time I've had that happen!
Now I'm waiting for the movie. (:

A good audiobook while working. Lots of female-characters-written-by-male-author moments, but if I just focused on the plot, I was totally enthralled. Will keep reading after that cliff hanger!

I enjoyed the beginning and read it with relish... Then about half way through it became tedious but worth reading to get to the sporadic pieces of excitement and intrigue.
I'll give the trilogy a read...

4.5 stars. Excellent spy novel…great characters and plot. Could have done without the recipes.
This book was a great read - the story grabbed me from the start and I didn't want to put it down. I love reading books that make me want to ignore my responsibilities and read. Having started my career at a defense contractor in the 80s, this story felt plausible with familiar cold war era themes. There is an added level of depth given the current news with Russia's cyber attacks and interference in the US elections and government. Great read - can't wait to start the second book in the series and see the movie!
