The White Russian: A Novel af Tom Bradby
nice russian atmosphere- seemingly historically accurate- enjoyed the ending but would have liked a plot further separated from the investigator more
Good atmosphere, competent plot. Everything proceeds a little bit too much as expected, but this is a first book, and the writing is good
Complex plot a sequel to Secret Service, featuring Kate Henderson as ex SIS who left under a cloud after appearing to be conned by the Russians into implicating the PM. Her husband had also defected after being blackmailed by the Russians. Lots of insight into the workings of Whitehall and international relations, as well as detailed descriptions of Prague and Moscow. The plot moves fast enough to cover the improbability of it, especially being able to enter Russia without a visa at short notice...… (mere)
Fast paced action, full of cross and double-cross, red herrings as Kate Henderson, senior MI6 officer tries to work out if a potential Russian defector is offering genuine gold intelligence or if it is all an elaborate bluff. She also has to deal with her husband's infidelity and defection to Moscow, which has badly affected their teenage children. Throw in political intrigue and the historical rivalries between MI6 and MI5 and the author used all his journalism experience to good effect.
