Red Sparrow

A Novel

From New York Times bestselling author and veteran CIA officer Jason Matthews, the electrifying modern spy thriller Red Sparrow—also a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!

In contemporary Russia, state intelligence officer Dominika Egorova has been drafted to become a “Sparrow”—a spy trained in the art of seduction to elicit information from their marks. She’s been assigned to Nathaniel Nash, a CIA officer who handles the organization’s most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young intelligence officers, trained in their respective spy schools, collide in a charged atmosphere of tradecraft, deception and, inevitably, a forbidden spiral of carnal attraction that threatens their careers and the security of America’s valuable mole in Moscow.

For fans of John le Carré and Ian Fleming and featuring “high-level espionage, pulse-pounding danger, sex, double agents, and double crosses” (Nelson DeMille), Red Sparrow is a timely and electrifying thriller that is impossible to put down.

Good storyline. A little overly detailed for me.

Good storyline. A little overly detailed for my taste... especially the 1-2 minutes at the end of each and every chapter w cooking instructions for a meal they had eaten during the preceding chapter.

Simple Amazing!

This is by far the best espionage books I have read. I couldn't wait to start the second book in the series. I ordered it immediately from Audible. With Jason Matthews' career with the CIA enriches the storyline.

great story, well written, well read

What made the experience of listening to Red Sparrow the most enjoyable?

this is a great book. i listen to a lot of books, don't review many but i really reccomend this one. the reader is great and the flow of the book and apparent depth of knowledge of the author is riviting. i look for reasons to get back in the car to listen.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

the plot is well paced and very interesting. the author had fun with the "intersections" of the characters.

What about Jeremy Bobb’s performance did you like?

just right on.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

i hope there is a sequel.

Any additional comments?

i am looking for the next book. another author i really enjoy is john sanford and i am glad he writes so prolifically, this autor is in that class

one of my favorites of all time

You have to pay attention. there are a lot of Russian names to keep track of... but so worth it. I loved this book

Very entertaining and quite well done!

I don't usually read spy novels but this was excellent. will be looking for other works by this offer and dipping further into a new genre.
