The Spy Who Came in from the Cold by John le Carré
4.0

Interesting, slow-burn of a book about east and west Germany, and the relationship of spymasters and spies, and who is expendable and who is not. This book will certainly be better on a re-read as I am pretty certain I missed some subtle details.

Overall, very good. I would not call it a George Smiley book. Yes, he's in it, but makes two appearances, and makes no difference in the story (just a get a bit about his character as a person) This is a standalone book.
