The Devil's Light by Richard North Patterson
3.0
While I love Patterson's books, this one felt much to heavy for me. I have read a few summaries that hit the nail on the head, that it is so full of detail and history, but really makes the storyline slow down. I could not agree more. The interesting background info provided could really turn a reader off, unless he/she is strongly invested in Middle East politics.
I do wish Patterson would return to his legal thrillers, which always kept me wanting more. Some of these spy/thrillers are just out of what I would call his comfort zone. I have no idea what Patterson has in the pipeline, but can onily hope mystery is the genre, not historically-rich thrillers.
