I didn't get on with that Le Carre very well either. I prefer the early ones and A Perfect Spy. Love the Macinnes too - so suspenseful - and as you say Robert Goddard doesn't let you down. I can only admire!

I haven't read A Perfect Spy but loved the TV series. Hmm, I have an Amazon voucher ...

I did like the snide reference to George Osborne.

I just finished a Helen MacInnes book today - Neither Five Nor Three, a suspenseful page-turner about the US at the start of the fifties waking up to the threat of Communist propoganda. It was interesting to read about an earlier, different perspective on what is known by now as McCarthy's excesses.

I've never read le Carre or Goddard.

Ooh, a Helen MacInnes I haven't read! Must look out for it. I like Robert Goddard a lot for a can't-put-it-down read when you need one. I'd miss the first one and go for the trilogy which begins with Into the Blue.
