Napoleon's Spy
Napoleon's Spy | Ben Kane
1 post | 1 read
NAPOLEON: EMPEROR OF FRANCE, MASTER OF EUROPE. 1812. On the eve of the invasion of Russia, half-French, half-English Matthieu Carrey finds himself in the ranks of Napoleon's five hundred thousand strong army. With Tsar Alexander seemingly ill-prepared, a French victory seems certain. The Grande Armée will obliterate everything in its path. Carrey's purpose is less clear. Blackmailed into becoming a spy in the emperor's army, he hopes to follow his lover, a French actress who has gone to work in the Moscow theatre. As supplies grow scarce and temperatures plummet, the Grande Armée begins to crumble. Caught up in the maelstrom of war, Carrey embarks on an epic journey, while the Russians circle him like hungry wolves. Hundreds of miles lie between Carrey and safety. To reach it seems utterly impossible.

My next 4 books for #52bookclub24 ; another great reading month.

Két feleség (Two Wives, not in the Litsy database) included two thought-provoking novellas about love, desire, and the ghosts of the dead haunting living couples. My first book from this author (Sándor Bródy) but definitely not the last.

eeclayton Napoleon's Spy takes place during Napoleon's campaign in Russia. Although I found the descriptions of the campaing compelling with lots of interesting and devastating details, I didn't think the protagonist was likeable, and I wasn't as shaken by the events as I had expected. All in all, it was a good book worth reading, but it didn't stand out for me.

eeclayton Masha has been obsessed with serial killers ever since her father was murdered. When she begins her internship at the Moscow police station, she gets to study the files of some weird killings, and she starts to discover what seems to be the pattern behind these cases.
This was not exactly a page-turner, but an exciting thriller with a good plot. The middle part was rather slow but not uninteresting.

eeclayton Wildtrack is a thriller set in the 1980s written by Bernard Cornwell, who is mostly known for his historical fiction. It was a good book, with enough twists to keep me interested, and I especially liked the atmosphere of life at sea. However, all throughout the book, I felt like the story was promising something that was never quite delivered.
