A review by cnorbury
The Book of Spies by Gayle Lynds
3.0
Remindful of The DaVinci Code and books of that sort, with secret societies, hidden treasures and secrets, etc. For me, The Book of Spies fell short.
The premise was interesting, but not compelling. Pace was lethargic at times, and in a few places I felt more like I was getting a history lesson than reading a thriller. Characters were nothing special,just good, solid male and female protagonists and supporting cast.
If you haven't read Dan Brown's books, it might be instructive to read this first, then Brown's books, and see how the two authors compare in that order.
