I think Deighton did an extraordinary job describing the couple: Bernard, the field agent, and Fiona, the MI6 administrator who abandons family and friends to be a double agent working in Berlin for her boss Bret Renssalaer. I was particularly impressed by Deighton's character descriptions.

I am afraid I don't have a favourite couple in the novels I read, but the characters in Deighton's work are extremely well drawn.(less)

This is the fascinating story of a Confederate raider from his escape from Camp Douglas to the raid on St. Albans, the extradition trial in Montreal, and the pursuit of justice against the Ku Klux Klan for the ex-slave George Dinning.(less)

60 – Wonderous Ancient Structures and “Self-Healing Concrete”

The Parthenon and the Colosseum are two of the most amazing ancient structures still standing today: a temple in Athens dedicated to the goddess Athena built in the 5th century BCE and the largest standing amphitheatre in the world built in 80 CE in Rome.

It takes a long time to get into this novel. The dumb Danish cops, the slow progression of the social services scammers, and the social worker's desire for vengeance. I think the author has found a gold mine for female readers with these stories of w ...more

Night Soldiers by Alan Furst

This is a great story and generally well done, but it is often confusing as characters come and go and disappear. This is another novelist who needs to hire an editor so the reader is not constantly confused.

I enjoyed the novel, but I had trouble following the story. Too many characters and incidents, and the it is very long for a crime novel. When you get disconnected, and you forget who is who, then it no longer works for you.
