12 posts | 19 read | 4 to read
Art restorer, assassin, spy--Gabriel Allon returns in The Fallen Angel, another blockbuster espionage thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva. The acclaimed author of Portrait of a Spy, Silva ("a world class practitioner of spy fiction" --Washington Post) is an undisputed master of the genre who has brought "new life to the international thriller" (Newsday).A breathtaking adventure that races around the globe, The Fallen Angel begins in Rome, where Allon is called upon to investigate a murder at the Vatican, one with disastrous repercussions that could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. If you haven't yet been drawn into Daniel Silva's thrilling universe of intrigue, danger, and exceptional spycraft, start here--and see why the Philadelphia Inqurer declares that, "The enigmatic Gabriel Allon remains one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series."

Well written and researched, this spy thriller moves from Rome to Jerusalem to Paris & beyond. I quite liked Gabriel Allon although he seems a little too perfect (but maybe that‘s the point). I liked the intricate details of art & the spy world. But at times it felt bogged down in descriptions of process that I didn‘t need. Precise & comprehensive, it‘s richer than many spy thrillers. Kind of like an art history textbook in fictional form.

Loved this book, one of the best in the series for me and read it in 24 hours as couldn‘t put it down. Also feels quite a watershed in the series at the end so interested to see where this is taken in the next book.

All of the Gabriel Allon books are well written and show the amount of research Silva undertakes for his books.

Gabriel Allon is a good man who has done terrible things in the service of his country and the people he loves. I think he qualifies as a #fallenangel. #characters2017

Last book for March DONE! Daniel Silva does not disappoint. There's plenty of nail-biting suspense and tension with strong, developed characters (the band is back together) and compelling storytelling. I'm so glad I finally checked this off my TBR. #LRC20 - on TBR for more than a year (since 2012!) and #8 for Mount TBR.

Andrew65 I do love his books too. 8y

Really has nothing to do with the story, but this line makes me sad. 😢
