Enjoyable and gripping. A few twists that I did not predict. I would read more by this author.

I got to Silva late but this was worth the wait. Michael is a very good character and it’s interesting to me that Silva only gives him one more book. I’ll definitely read it.
October is a great bad guy. While he lost this battle I wonder if we will see him again. There are too many open ends left that I hope get wrapped up in the next one.
Gabriel Allon must be a heck of a character. I’ll get to him eventually.

This was the first book of the series, and the story ends without any resolution. The second book will continue the story.

Not the type of suspense novel I usually read, but my son gave it to me for my birthday, so what are you gonna do? Anyway, I liked it more than I thought I would. Silva has a way with a plot (less so with dialogue). The plot involves a sort of milktoast US president who is manipulated by his chief of staff and a major campaign donor. One would have thought it was based on G.W. Bush, except that book came out in 1998!

I've read all but the most recent Daniel Silva (Gabriel Allon) novels. I did not finish this book - I do not understand why authors think it's perfectly ok to write in a pet and then have the pet murdered. I closed the book at that point and will not read another Daniel Silva novel.
