The Polish Officer by Alan Furst

3.0

The Polish Officer by Alan Furst is the sort of book that I feel like I should love, but instead can only say that I liked it. This is a spy thriller set in 1939 during the war. It follows a Polish spy through various escapades. It's dark, educational, and entertaining but for some reason very hard for me to get through at times. Possibly it's because there are so many stops and starts. Characters come and go, though he does an admirable job of depicting the various supporting characters with a few descriptive words or stories.
