A review by thegourmetbookworm
The Other Woman by Daniel Silva

4.0

I’ve always been fascinated by the treachery of double agent intelligence agent Harold “Kim” Philby, who defected to Moscow in 1963. Philby was a member of the famous spy ring known as The Cambridge Five that divulged British secrets during World War II and the early stages of the Cold War. Silva does an excellent job of weaving historical details with contemporary events. His novels never disappoint. I’ve read eighteen of them now and am eager to continue. The electric plots and vivid characters have me turning pages as though I were in a race to the finish, although I must admit I sometimes have trouble keeping the characters straight. I learn something new about the world’s political intricacies with each book in the series… be sure to read the author’s notes at the end. 4 stars.
