bracky 's review for:

A Delicate Truth by John le Carré
5.0

Maybe it was because I was unconsciously missing John Le Carré's prose, after not reading it for a couple of years, that made this book feel like a coming home of sorts. From page 1 the descriptions are spot on, and the conversations are written with Le Carré's trademark style and flair.
And in these conversations it is that we find the most excitement. Unlike any other author, Le Carré can make third person accounts of exciting things feel almost more exciting than the things themselves. Through these conversations we learn more and more about the mishaps surrounding the Topsecret mission Wildlife, seemingly a great succes, but of course this is to good to be true.
