Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell
5.0
I've followed adventures of Modesty and Willie for almost 20 years now but always in the form of comics (drawn by the great Holdaway and later by Romero).
So I was surprised when I found out that there were novels about Modesty Blaise. At first I was afraid that the quality will be lower (movies were true let-downs) but boy was I wrong.
This is the first novel in the series and what a novel if I may say. I can only say I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Update Jan 10th 2019 - Books that age well are very rare and [b:Modesty Blaise|463149|Modesty Blaise (Modesty Blaise, #1)|Peter O'Donnell|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327947244s/463149.jpg|3689460] is one of these gems. I re-read it with joy 8 years after and it still packs a punch.
Highly recommended to all action, thriller and Modesty Blaise fans.
