The Secret Servant by Daniel Silva

4.0

The Secret Servant was the first Gabriel Allon novel I read after stumbling across it in a charity shop in Essex. I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy and read the rest of the series and now I own every single one (except maybe the most recent one).

While now reading the series in chronological order, this is my favourite out of the first 7. I feel like it’s a change of tone from the first books which are quite heavy on the history and politics, whereas TSS is more character based and those characters are in the here and now.

Definitely my favourite in the series so far. Very readable, fast paced plot and the overall story arc is very much still there.
