There are many, many characters in this WWII espionage novel. They were hard to keep track of. While it had its moments, in general the book was kind of slow.
I got fairly confused at all of the revelations in the last twenty or so pages. Possibly by design, probably because personally speaking I've had a bit of an awful week and my mind isn't really firing on all cylinders. Overall I enjoyed this although the pacing was a bit odd. Probably a 3.5 for me.

Whilst this book was funny and I enjoyed it, it was confusing in parts and sometimes difficult to follow but loved the twist at the end
Lots that I really liked about this, not least the caustic voice of post-war Juliet. But the plot didn't work for me. First half, I kept waiting for the sense of anticipation to come to something. Second half I spent trying to work out what was happening. And then the twist at the end was so out of nowhere that it was annoying.

I started with the Kindle edition, but couldn't get into it. Then moved on to the audiobook. Nice twist at the end though.
