The Scarlet Papers by Matthew Richardson

4.0

A thrilling espionage tale where a burnt out academic is chosen to write and reveal the life of Britain’s top Cold War spy. Engagingly written and utterly immersive, it really had the energy of a James Bond style book - a single character becoming utterly wrapped up in this world.

I will say what let this book down and prevented the full five stars was the plot twists - I found them incredibly predictable a lot of the time.
