Format:Paperback
Bought this book on the off chance - and was pleasantly suprised. Although not the most technical of spy thrillers it was easy to read and the pace was good. I was unaware that there was a book previous to this and will probably get that to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. Its a bit more of a romance than a hardcore spy thriller, John le Carre can rest safely knowing hes not going to be challenged just yet lol. BUT if you like spies, russians, a bit of physical torture and lots of country swopping in an easy to read paperback then this books for you!

Format:Paperback
The previous viewer had som interesting remarks I'm not elaborating on, although I find it spot on in a slightly sarcastic way. The chameleon has more action than the previous one, but perhaps lacks a serious interesting plot other thant the obvious - also when it comes to the ending of the book. We get to know some persons better from last time, and some not. Some of the characters are kept alive long enough to end up in the folloewr, which was quite predictable. But the pageturner feel and some fascination is kept througout the book, making me reading it and possibly check out the next one.
Format:Paperback
This is a tale not of spies, but of the murky world involving assasins. The tale is told in a mixture between the third person and the first person. It starts with a murder and runs at pace from there. The action switches between Paris, London, New York and Russia for the most part and delves into a world of organised crime and the shadowy reach of government.
This is the second novel in Mark's series, however was an interesting entrance into the world for me. The love story, that is at the heart of the book, is told in depth and evokes sympathy for two very flawed characters.
This is a page turner that draws you along to the sad but somewhat inevitable conclusion.

how not to create characters
I have to start by explaining I am an editor and, whether I like it or not, I tend to read critically, even when I want nothing more than to get lost in a book. Read more

Like the previous reviewer I also found this book a strange mix on stunted corse writing, but compelling. Read more
