Very interesting, but...

...the plot sort of wandered all over the place. Couple that with agents, double agents, fake names, etc., at times reading got a bit complicated. I also think there was too much dialogue. But, I’ll read the next book in the series.

Triangle of Deception follows Dan Gordon, an agent for the Office of International Asset Recovery and Money Laundering, and his involvement in Operation Pinocchio – an operation to infiltrate terrorist organisation Hezbollah and cause dissension in its members. However the world of espionage is never as it seems.

I found it hard to get into this book. Although the beginning was setting the plot and had a lot of character back story, there was a lot of technical information as well that I found hard to wrap my head around. The rest of the book was similar however as I understood what was going on, I founder it easier to get into.

Dan is an interesting character with a lot of experience in the field. Although I couldn’t relate to him in the slightest, I still connected with him and cared about his well being. I experienced his emotions right along with him.

The book is quite slow paced and there is a lot of information to digest however it is still very intriguing. It’s a heck of a lot more realistic than most crime novels. As there is so much to take on board, you don’t really have a clue where it’s all headed and who’s behind what.

Although it took a bit for me to get into, it was altogether an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it those who like a lot of intrigue compared to action in their espionage thriller novels.

This book reminded me of 24 the show. It had that same government/spy aspect. Although, I thought I would enjoy this book more than I did, while perusing its cover. I had no idea how much of the story was based on terrorism.
This is a typical story of a double agent, and his terrorist ties. Since this is what is plastered all over the news and papers every day, it was tough to read about as fiction. Once I got over the subject matter, I found myself becoming submerged into the intrigue of the main character Dan. By the end of the book, I had forgotten how little I originally disliked it.
A decent political thriller after all, and a must read for any fiction

Triangle of Deception is one of those sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat books. It’s book four of a series but it makes a wonderful standalone. I don’t want to say too much for fear of giving anything away! Fast paced, energetic, and exciting, this is one that any crime-thriller lover won’t want to miss.

Triangle of deception

Not quite as easy to read and follow as previous offerings by Carmon, but when you get to a point where you can analyze where you've been and might be going it's an intense trip. I enjoy the detail of the places and history of the tales, and marvel at his ability to paint good word pictures. I intend reading more of his works and easily recommend it.

I thought it a little dry at first, but found the story very intriguing as it developed. It amazes me how people can create stories that seem so real. If this even remotely portrays real counterterrorist work then I I'm sure glad it's someone else's job.

Difficult to follow initially but with the story eventually requires that it is finished.

Typical Carmon thriller - intricate and lengthy incomprehensible plotting, some cool tradecraft.

Probably the last Haggai Camron book for me.
