The Wrecking Crew by Donald Hamilton

5.0

After reading this 2nd book in the series, I am completely hooked. These Matt Helm books remind me a lot of the Parker books by Richard Stark, being contemporaries with that series as well. What Parker is for noir crime novels, Matt Helm is for spy novels. If you understand what you're in for with these books -- that is, 1960s Cold War espionage, complete with all the dated tech and misogyny of that particular decade -- then they are a helluva read. I definitely plan to read the other 25 books in the Matt Helm series and would recommend them to anyone who enjoys action or spy novels.
