A review by clmckinney
An Honest Man by Ben Fergusson

5.0

This about a young 18 year old in West Berlin in 1989. The novel delves into intrigue whilst a young man is discovering his sexuality. For me, a gay tale with spy elements is a great combo. I really liked the tone of this novel. I often like Irish novels for their warmth, I would say this book has a decidedly candid approach to family and friends that is both comedic and natural. I am adored Ben Fergusson's writing a lot. The intrigue was well done and clever. And it was not overdone, but simple in its plotting. I give this one a 5/5. I look forward to future novels by Mr. Fergusson.
