Audio version - i like spy / mysterys and this was among the best I've read in the past year. Surprising ending, unresolved details. Some innuendo, but held my interest.

A fun book to read. Lots of twists, some of which were predictable, most not. Compelling plot, believeable characters.

A terrific, twisty spy thriller. Very well-written with well-realized characters and a story-driven plot that made it hard to put down.

A not bad spy novel, despite some of the ridiculous plot twists. Milo grew on me as the book progressed. I might seek out more Milo, or then again I might not.

I think it was a pretty good introduction to reading spy novels. It was fairly information-heavy at times that made me feel like I was reading through old dossiers, but it might be part of the genre. I liked the characters and they had a good sense of realness to them. The plot had good pacing. Overall, I think I'd read another one of Steinhauer's novels. :)
