Recenzii

In its subtletyit reminded me strongly of John le Carré's wonderfulA Small Town in Germany, which also brought home the delicate confusions that lie at the heart of those who work in the shadow of treachery. This is high praise
Unbearably tense... this is a snapshot of the real world from a man who has lived it
The follow-up to Searle's acclaimed 2015 debutThe Good Liar, and the technical aspects of thriller writing are well handled asthe tension builds on both sides
[A]tale of sordid compromises and agonising choices... beneath the betrayals and violence Searle's antihero's dilemma unleashes lies a moral message: even the hardest heart is made vulnerable by love'
The Good Liarwas excellent butthis book feels more personal and is even better
Morally chewy and unbearably tense
This is one of those thrillers whose thrills come not just from a fast-paced plot, but also from the fact that we're being given privileged access to a hidden world
A taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch
Added to the fiendishly clever plot, Searle's writing is both drily amusing and elegantly crafted.An absolute treat of a book
An incredibly dark, taut thriller... Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré
Searle shows a gift for complex plotting
Nicholas Searle drew on his own background in intelligence to portray an IRA terrorist and his wife forced into different types of betrayal
