David Lowther (goodreadscomlowtherdavid37) | 31 comments Just finished Midnight in Europe, another immaculately crafted, slow burning espionage tale from the master of the genre Alan Furst.
The background this time is the Spanish Civil War but the underlying tension is as it has always been in his novels; the approach of the Second World War.
We know where the author's sympathies lie and here he reminds us of the stupidity of the non-intervention pact which Britain signed up to just to keep hold of Gibraltar. Perhaps, in the long term, they were right but Furst always makes us think ---what if? Superb
