I just loved this book.  I can't wait to read the other Robbie Cutler books.  The rich history in this book made me want to go to Hungary and visit the areas that Shepard writes about.  It is so interesting to learn the history of Hungary like this, from a career diplomats perspective.  At some times the writing reminded me of a George Smiley story by LeCarre, at others, towards the end, like an Agatha Christie.  But it has such a modern perspective.  As well, I really enjoyed the way you go inside the character's heads, thinking their thoughts with them.  This was just a very special book, I could not put it down and sat the whole afternoon reading until I was done.  The tale is completely different from my world, and it was a great escape.  That's what good fiction is all about!
