A Delicate Truth by John le Carré
5.0
John le Carré's style of writing is unparalleled by any author alive today in my opinion. He writes imaginative, fast-paced, high-drama stories that are thrilling yet entirely realistic and believable.
I loved 'A Delicate Truth' because it grabs you right from the word go and takes you on this whirlwind of modern day espionage. le Carré's writing is so elegant that at times you do have to concentrate hard on what he's saying to get the full meaning of some of the most eloquent parts. But this is all part and parcel of the high-brow nature of the topic involved and so is completely necessary.
The story is full of twists and turns. The characters are believable and the protagonists, likeable.
It ends on quite the cliffhanger which is suggestive but not explicit with regards to what might happen next. I liked this touch as at the end of this great mystery, it left the outcome to the reader's imagination.
Overall I loved this book! It has easily been one of the best books I've ever read and I'll definitely be going back and reading some of John le Carré's other work.
