The Fallen Angel: A Novel | Daniel Silva

bailed

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.

A Death in Cornwall: A Novel | Daniel Silva

Gotta get through this one so I can prep for book club next week. It's okay, but not amazing, and I really would rather be reading my other book, which IS amazing. So I'm rewarding myself with chocolate for doing the reading i should be doing instead of the reading i want to be doing. Toblerone season is here!

I enjoyed this but I don‘t think it‘s my favourite genre. The pace was a little slow & lacked tension (the author doesn‘t plan his novels so it felt more episodic than a tightly plotted thriller). Gabriel Allen is a sympathetic, wry character, cartoonish in his abilities (as they all are). It became a WW3 story across many countries, with a not unrealistic premise. Rich with art & music, I enjoyed the more grounded scenes in Venice & Denmark.
