cyphomandra: fractured brooding landscape (Default)
I've tried before to read John Le Carré, and stalled out on a number of them before hitting The Little Drummer Girl, which I loved (brilliant, devastating, brilliant). Then I tried some more and after failing to get past the first 50 pages of A Perfect Spy half a dozen times, I gave up. After seeing the movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy I thought it was probably time to think about trying again and, eventually, it became a good idea for other reasons.

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. )

A murder of quality. )
cyphomandra: vale from brotown looking put upon (give me strength)
A recent binge which is still ongoing. I'd recommend the second of these with caveats, and the third with the disclaimer that I loved it but may well be hopelessly biased. And you can find me being snarky - with spoilers - about the first one, behind this cut:

Fyn Alexander, Rentboy. )

Lisa Henry, Dark Space. )

L.A. Witt. From Out in the Cold. )
