Review: A promising author and a book you'll read to the end

The style is flowing and the story is compelling. I think that everybody will like the hero of this story. He falls unexpectedly in love with a woman who seems lost in world of spies and decides to save her, from her enemies of from herself. The best part is that we meet his friends and a collection of highly colorful and amusing characters. This is a talented writer.I give it only three stars for the following reasons:- Many corrections are left visible in the text. It is a five minutes job to give us a clean text, so why not? We deserve it.- At one moment, two people discuss a person who had allowed a bunch of spies to photocopy defense documents. They agree that the person has done "nothing wrong". It is ridiculous. You think that if I knowingly let people under my roof copy secret documents from this country, I would have done nothing wrong? In the context, this does not make any sense at all. I think it is just due to fast and poor writing, there is place for more subtlety than this.- The end is convoluted and not quite satisfying. Who had what benefit from all this? The benefits (the justification of everybody's actions) are unclear. I may be dense, but I found the ending stems from an excellent idea but remains weak.All this being said, I want to read the next book of this promising author.
