A review by alexsiddall
Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst

4.0

Furst brings to life an otherwise neglected place and time in the history of WW2, with his usual fine writing, clever plotting, and believable period detail. The subsidiary characters remain ciphers (for the most part), and the sex scenes lack conviction - I get the feeling he puts them in because they're part of the formula. An enjoyable and educational read nonetheless, and I'll be looking to read my third Furst in due course.
