3.0

A fun thriller, written by Anthony Horowitz in the style of Iam Fleming.  Sometimes that grates a bit, especially the rampant sexism, but the alternative of modernising it also would not have worked. At least Horowitz had a strong female character and confined the sexism to within Bond's mind.
An unexpected bonus was setting part of it in the Eifel - an area I k ow well. I'll be within a few kilometers of Badmunster Eifel later this year.
