All the Old Knives by Olen Steinhauer

5.0

If you are fortunate enough to be familiar with Steinhauer, just know that he has outdone himself here by being able to maintain another web of intrigue all within the setting of a conversation between former lovers at dinner. There is a short setup before the dinner and then some flashbacks, but they are all in relation to what is being discussed at the dinner table. If you are kinda like "hmmmmm, I don't know, sounds dull", I was too because the version I read came with an intro from the author that pretty much laid out how his story was going to presented. But trust me, it works. It's a quick read and one you will want to gobble up. Fantastic work.
