A review by lauraborkpower
Babel by Barry Maitland

4.0

This is my favorite in the series thus far. Now that I've gotten to know the characters, the decisions they make about their private and their work lives are more meaningful than they were earlier in the series. The plot was solid--exciting and tricky, though not unbelievable (for the realm of a mystery/thriller, which of course has to be a bit unbelievable or it wouldn't be any good at all) and I just love Maitland's use of the prologue. I have a literary crush on the prologue; he uses in them in all (I think...) of these books, but this one was especially effective. Highly recommended.
