pkadams 's review for:

Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews
4.0

Yay! I haven't read a spy novel this good in years. We all bemoan the loss of the cold war as spy literature just hasn't been the same. Well Jason Matthews delivers a great ride with this classic spy story of a mole hunt in the Russian Spy Agency (SVR). The story pits two young spies, Nathaniel Nash and Dominika Egorova against each other with great back drops of Moscow, Helsinki, Rome, Washington, and Athens. Great read and it helps that Matthews, like Ian Fleming was a spy himself! There is a real authentic feel to the book.
