Review: Racy story, vivid descriptions, I must go back and read a couple of James Bond novels to compare!

What a romp! It's not easy for an author to convince me to read diabolical scenes and just get on with it, but the writing here is colourful and exciting. I rather enjoyed the cocktail of plummy upper-class 1940's English talk with a good few colloquial North American expressions. Descriptions are fantastic. I've held back five stars for something nearer to the soul, but this deserves four and a half for the racy story, vivid writing and historical references. For James Bond nostalgics, this is a must.
