I had been stumbling around looking for another good mystery series and I think I have found it! Gabriel Allon is a fascinating character. He is unexpected and incredibly likable. The writing is good, bits of information but not so much as you solve it too early!

Superb. When locations that stretch from Tel Aviv to Paris, London, Montreal, and Washington DC, the plot has "the Office" tracking a terrorist who wishes to disrupt the peace process. There's even a twist after the conclusion. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Returned to library before finished

Well, I liked the part about his being an art restorer. Otherwise, I found this rather draggy. I don't know if I'd go on to read the next.

I’m interested in reading another in the series, but man it was kind of tough to follow with all the name changes lol. Plus so many different locations. Was a bit challenging for me to keep it all straight. Okay read, just didn’t feel totally invested.
