A review by balthazarlawson
The Spy by Clive Cussler, Justin Scott

2.0

Isaac Bell is a private detective working for the Van Dorn agency. He is employed to investigate the death of a naval gun engineer and more importantly prove that he did not kill himself. This quickly leads the fact that this is not an isolated death in the ship building industry. It's 1908 and the Dreadnought race is on, with the US playing catch up. Everyone wants to know what everyone else is up to in the industry. Bell soon realizes he is hunting a spy who wants to damage the US effort. It's no longer a murder case but a major espionage case that takes him across the country and back again.

The problem this is that the story is long and drawn out and confusing. There are so many characters to keep track of that's it's easy to wonder where they went or come from. The story gets lost in itself and thus is not that enthralling and gripping as one would expect.

It's only a so so read.
