A review by chomal
House of Spies by Daniel Silva

4.0

I randomly picked this up at an airport terminal as a light read during the travels but oh boy! Wasn't it a thrilling ride. This is the first Daniel Silva novel I'm reading so despite being the 17th book of a decade old series, it was like leafing through a single piece of work. Characters weren't lost to me, plot was all in clear and more importantly, it was like I was meeting a bunch of old friends. Brilliantly inked, it opened a brand-new Gabriel Allon universe for me to explore.

Although plot twists were either minuscule or missing, story flowed fluidly. It's always fun to read spy thrillers, the ones that regard current politics and state of affairs. So can recommend this to anyone.

Please pick this up the next time you see one residing in a shelf. It's glorious.
