This was a GoodReads giveaway win.

It had a solid plot. The story took a nice and easy pacing. I can't fault the build up of scenarios and characters to its nail biting conclusion. It guess I have been so accustom to the old "Saturday matinee" style of action every minute, I forget that in really life, spy work is a series of cat and mouse moves where you slowly stalk your prey, lest you lose him all together. It don't consider this to be a great read, but it is entertaining.

Have a GoddReads.

This is a firstreads book.

Once I got a good handle on who was who, and I had to go back a couple of times to do that, I really enjoyed the story. Good twists and turns but nicely paced, not an edge of your seat throughout the whole story kind of book, but one you really want to take your time with.

I received this book through the goodreads first reads program. Once able to keep all of the multiple identities straight it was an extremely enjoyable read. There were multiple twists and turns that kept my attention, and a conclusion worthy of the book.

This book really moved along. It is interesting because I was reading two books at one time which is something I never do but I found myself wanting to pick up this book instead of the other one. I think this was the author's first book and I was impressed with it.

Excellent read. I really enjoyed this one. It's got action, adventure, intrigue and great espionage. The interesting collection of characters kept me from putting it down.
