When I read the blurb of this book, I wasn't sure, it sounded like a lot of typical spy novels. But I enjoyed the first impression more than I was expecting. The mystery is written well, dropping hints here and there but not too much too soon. The characters are well developed and there is small elements of humour in there which set it apart from other spy novels. A romance element is creeping in between the two main characters which will undoubtedly create tension/issues in the future but makes for good reading. I would like to find out what happens next.
