Review: Excellent and poignant spy thriller

I found the plot interesting and well- developed, and the central location an unusual and therefore refreshing choice. While some of the characters were a bit one- dimensional, the main character John Purkiss is very- well developed, complex and quite human, not just some outsized killing machine.  I will definitely be reading other books in the series. As a minor aside, being an American, I actually appreciated that the author used English rather than American spellings, as it oddly added some authenticity to the novel. Definitely a good show, if not a jolly one!
