not their best

nicely written and engaging, certainly enjoyed Daniel Silva. no narrator can compare to Rene Auberjenios doing Pendergast

Excellent!

What a great read. I always look forward to Daniel Silva’s books and this one met the mark. Once again Gabriel Allon is hired to do what no one else can do and he does it with a self-confidence that none of us would have. And as usual, the unique twists and turns within the story keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I have to say that there were so many things that happened that I did not expect, but then I’ve gotten to where I expect the unexpected with Silva’s books. I started this book and went through it at a pretty quick pace, simply because of the entertaining writing. The narrator did an excellent job and listening to him was like listening to an old friend. Always love Daniel Silva’s books and I can’t wait for the next one.
