5 this book is composed of five parts. All of story was really scary and interesting.
This book isn’t horror but mystery. It took me for a long time to solve some problem, but it was very good book. That’s why I gave this book five stars.

Maugham packs a lot into his short novel about a travel writer/spy.
While it is a spy novel and thriller, it is also a psychological study. We catch glimpses of our protagonists' childhood and war service, both of which contribute to his split personality.
I'm a little bit in awe of how Maugham, with apparent ease, fits so much into 124 pages.

I found this book a bit confusing but it was still a good thriller/adventure story. It took me a while to figure out the narrator had a"dissociative personality disorder" which was the explanation for two "different" people doing counter-productive things. The narrator is a journalist/sometimes spy. He had a serious head injury in WW2.
