A review by tittypete
The Wrecking Crew by Donald Hamilton

3.0

"What if James Bond was more sexist and way more full of himself but did less?" This must have been the question Hamilton asked himself before writing this one. Matt Helm, secret assassin, goes to Sweden and shits on everyone, nails some babes and is devoid of human emotion. Then some people die. This is evidently to prevent the Russians from annexing northern Sweden. Full of late-fifties/early-sixties American hubris. Too bad. I kind of liked the first book in this series, Death of a Citizen. This was kind of a bummer of a follow up. Might try another down the line because I enjoy the drama. But then again maybe not. Might just watch the shitty Dean Martin movies instead.
