The Tailor of Panama by John le Carré

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Here, John le Carré gives full rein to his disgust and disillusion at his old trade. There are no, repeat no sympathetic characters - just villains and victims who are buried in the avalanche they have started between them.
As with most of le Carré's output the story is superbly crafted but remains somehow unsatisfying. As a reader I would like to respect (if not identify) with someone in the writer's world.
