The unrivaled master of spy fiction returns with a taut and suspenseful tale of dirty money and dirtier politics.
This novel probably deserves more than 3 stars and Robin Sachs does a pitch perfect job of reading, with each character possessing a distinctive voice that reflects their personality to a T. But I am just so tired of LeCarres sad depressing endings where everyone you are rooting for loses and where several major story lines are left totally unresolved. I know, life is unresolved, but so what? This is a story, it has a plot, it introduces complex characters who all rush towards a tense climax, but then... nothing. Id be happy to send Mr. LeCarre some Prozac if he would just write a story where most of the good guys come out ahead and all the main story lines are resolved at least regarding the plots climax.
