    Catch The Heart Off Guard and Blow It Open
  

*by P***B on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2017*

Charles Cumming knows his stuff and knows MI6. It seems MI6 was a background for him. He has brought us Tom Kell, a spymaster who is at his best. Tom Kell had a nasty time with an American CIA agent who was into renditions and water boarding, and Kell took the major blame. He was disinherited from MI6 pending a trial. The trial is in limbo, and in the meantime, Kell is asked to return once again to assist Amelia, the 'C' of MI6. Amelia has promised Kell a new post. His salary and benefits were returned a year ago when he helped save Amelia's son. Now, she wants more.Someone is leaking secrets in the Bosporus. There are several targets, and each one is looked at with great rigor. A fellow colleague has been killed in a plane crash, and it is up to Kell to find the reason. Somewhere between, London, Turkey, and Russia, there is a double agent. Along the way, a lot of good sleuthing and spy work. Kell has his choice of the best spies, and he once again meets up with an old antagonist and meets a new one. The environments in each of these countries is explored within the boundaries of work and play, and we are there. We can smell the sea, observe the night clubs and the restaurants. Harrods comes alive in London, the secret offices and houses of MI6, their offices in other countries, the secret phone rooms, the tea, the whiskey, the food, all lead us to an extremely well run organization. We meet the SVR, Russian secret agents, CIA, observe their methods of clandestine work. And, most of all, we get to know Kell, who is almost as secretive as Amelia, the woman he works for.Such a well written novel, and you cannot guess how 'things' will work out because new problems and people pop up right until the end.Recommended. prisrob 02-10-17

    A Colder War
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018*

One problem faces every would be reviewer.. should one reveal any of the plot.. A quick scan of the reviews..especially the lengthy ones..will reveal not only the story but how the final voting score is arrived at.  Many are happy to accept a long and winding road before the final flurry of spy catching does.. or doesnt happen.  Those that are not are probably better off with AndyMcNab.Spy books have many virtues..the convoluted tradecraft.the careful observation that reveals guilt and the final apprehension of theEtheopian in the fuel supply.I am less interested in intimate details of the sex life...or the angst that goes with it..of C or Kell or other players..especially if not relevant.Authors should include this in the plot only if it does not delay the story.perhaps.Cumming.s description of chasing the bad American around Harrods. finding the DLB and chasing..and catching..the bad guy in Odessa is exciting stuff. Trying to identify motive is less gripping ...perhaps.And this patchy .mix definitely puts some readers off.All I can say is that generally I was pulled along by the story..as you should be..and enjoyed the trip.Mr. Cumming does it for me.

    Excellent Spy Thriller
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2014*

If you are looking for a comic book superhero spy who jumps out of helicopters holding a damsel in distress, while ringing the Pope's private cell phone number on his way to save the President's daughter with his BFF Prince Charles, this may not be the adrenaline-soaked ride you're looking for.Tom Kell is a damaged man. "He had lost sight of his own status, allowed himself to forget the considerable achievements of his long career". His insights into treachery and deceit are part of his nature, Kell knows how to find traitors in a world of gray. "Search for men who are hurt by fate or nature. The ugly, people craving power or influence, people who have been defeated by circumstances." He understands the allure of treachery. "Let it go” he says. “You’re talking to people who see through you. This was about pleasure. The pleasure of manipulation. The joy of thumbing your nose at the state. The sadism of control over those whom you consider to be lesser mortals". Working in a world that is not always black and white, he maintains a unambiguous moral compass, telling one culprit, "You degrade the suffering and the complexity of the issues about which you profess to care by using them to validate your treachery".Charles Cumming's characters are believable and fully developed. Kell's boss Amelia Levene "embodied the nailed-down principle that a pedigree SIS officer should never come off second best". But she's not an entirely reliable boss and not at all forthcoming with information. Kell is the sort of spy she needs to fight this Colder War. He "knew the emotional territory: the quiet, always conscious desire to go face-to-face with an adversary, to prove one’s superiority, often while wearing a mask of kinship and warmth".Tom Kell is damaged, but not broken; Amelia Levene is confident, but not perfect or invincible. Both come off as human and real in this well-written, entertaining and suspenseful spy thriller.
