Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst
5.0
If you like spy novels, I fail to see how you cannot adore Furst.
This was so authentic and his writing so sincere that the pictures he painted in my mind transported me back in time. Admittedly, I have a deep interest for this period in history anyway, but my knowledge of this piece of Europe ( the Balkans) was quite limited, which created my only problem with the book and why it took so long to read it. I had to keep googling for more information, which, of course leads to surfing associated subjects.
