A novel showing how the Swiss were not innocent during World War II, and really were really bad in more than one way. The English assassin was a “gun” for hire, although he preferred a knife as his weapon of choice. He was hired to do a job and he doesn‘t regret doing his job as it was restitution for what had been done to others. The characters were quite interesting. 4/5

Even better than the first Allon novel. I was totally drawn into the intrigue of the secretive world of the Swiss bankers and their dark secrets and the talented Anna Rolfe. Can‘t wait to continue this series. #thriller

TrishB Love this series. 5y
Blaire @TrishB I‘m hooked now! 5y

I have became a big fan of the Gabriel Allon series. #2 was better than #1, I thought. If you like spy novels and haven't read this series, you need to give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Switzerland is an insular little country. If you thought they were neutral during WWII, this will teach you a lesson. But really, it‘s Gabriel Allon being his own kick ass, tormented, conflicted self. He‘s setting the world right, and meeting a beautiful new woman in the process. I love Silva‘s straight up writing—spy thrillers with plenty of gut punches.

Cinfhen Nice review💙I should definitely reread this series one day....#somanybookssolittletime 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Thanks! I‘m glad I finally took your advice and started this one. I‘m putting off the next book till the New Year though. I have four books to get to the highest peak in #MountTBR and so I‘m reading my backlist for the next two weeks. (OMG, non readers would probably shake their heads at me!) 😜 7y

I should probably be running errands, but I‘ve missed the Me time of reading in between client appointments. So it‘s just me, Gabriel, and Noosa‘s new Orange and Ginger yoghurt. Both are very yummy. #metime
