I found this book endlessly filled of unnecessary words and extraneous characters, the main character was not compelling and the mystery not interesting enough to make me want to keep reading. It was a slog to finish it and I’m glad I did - and I honestly wonder how someone as boring as Juliet could have been a spy. Indeed it is quite a talent to manage to write such an aggressively boring novel without a plot about WW2 spies. Hated the witticisms throughout the prose and the overuse of brackets, it makes for crowded and confused writing. Next!
