A spy novel set in 1940s Lisbon, centred around a female character in the Special Ops group that operating for Britain during the war.
The setting was done well, and anyone who has visited Lisbon will love the exploration of the city as it weaves into the story.
The copy I received had a great interview with the author at the back, which sets out some of the historical context of how the British Government ran spies during the war.
I found the lead character interesting but curiously cold, and the rotating list of men with "brooding eyes" rather confusing as there were so many of them. This was part of the intention I think as everyone was a potential double agent so the confusion was part of the deal.
