I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

rubyslippersreads I think I might need to do this. One of my New Year‘s resolutions is to read some of the many books on my shelves. 1y

Amiable @LeahBergen I heard about it on the “Strong Sense of Place” podcast! I recently discovered it and have become hooked on the podcast. I‘m really enjoying this book so far! 4y

Well, I finished it. I was really looking forward to this. Hello!-that cover! 😍 Sadly, I never believed Kit Carradine as a character. A spy novelist and son of an MI-6 agent would not act the way he did, and I just couldn't suspend my disbelief to buy into the rest of the story. Technically, the writing is fine, but the characters and plot are, IMO, garbage, including how he describes women. 🙄 Read Daniel Silva or John Le Carre instead.

rockpools Ouch! How disappointing! 5y
TrishB But a great review 👍🏻 5y

As part of my NetGalley catch-up/clean-up, I used a Libro-fm credit for this audiobook. Y'all, I'm seriously struggling with this. I looked at Goodreads for insight and I must be listening to a different book. I hate bailing on NetGalley books, so I'm probably going to hate-listen to the remaining 8 hours of audio, but if anyone else has read this book or author - can you clue me in to what is so great? Le Carre, he is not.

TheNextBook Do not hate listen. Life is too short to read or listen to a bad book! Click on that option on Netgalley saying you aren‘t going to review because you couldn‘t finish and this list why! Or DNF and say why you couldn‘t finish the book as your review. I‘ve done both! 5y

Kit carradine is recruited by Robert Mantis to fine Lara Bartok. He is soon in over his head in the spy game. Who can he trust? Probably no one.
