Welcome to Litsy!

This was a bit of a slow starter for me.

Not as good as the other spy novels I read last December, but the context makes it interesting and worth reading

I honestly think this addition to the Hamish Macbeth books was one of the greatest ones I have read yet! I love the friendship made between Hamish & James! And I'm glad Hamish ended with another love interest!

This one was extra jarring & felt like a totally different series. Just when I finally had gotten used to the 2nd narrator, this one has a different one. Everything felt off in this one. Sigh. 3⭐️

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

When I mentioned maybe doing a year of spycraft reading, Justin (my partner) highly recommended this one, based on Maugham's experiences during the first World War. Interconnected stories, it was excellent! Bonus for being a very vintage copy, although I alternate reading it with an ebook.

David Tennant is my favorite Doctor & one of my favorite actors, so I jumped at the chance to listen to him narrate. And who doesn't love James Bond?

Me. I don't love James Bond. Not as books - I enjoy the films as much as the next person. The books are dated & problematic in places, but that's understandable. IMO, the action scenes translate so much better to film, even with such a great narrator.

Can't concentrate on anything else at the moment, so the spycraft reading continues. The first le Carre/George Smiley. I'm in.
