A Loyal Spy - Simon Conway

Date Read: January 2011

Jonah Said recruited his oldest friend Nor to spy for one of Britain's most secret agencies in Afghanistan.

But embittered when government cuts mean he loses his job, Nor has turned to Al Q'aida with a terrifying plan to flood London. Now Jonah must find his friend - and kill him.

My Thoughts: A complex tale of espionage, betrayal and terrorism that is brought to us from the viewpoints of different characters on different timescales and in different countries. It wasn't too difficult to follow due to the tight writing style, however, some of the characters weren't entirely relatable and seemed a little distant to me. It grew slightly tedious at times while waiting for the action to happen.

Other than this it was a very well-written novel, and it was clear that a lot of knowledge and intelligence had gone into the making of it. A decent read in all, just very plot driven.


I RATED THIS 7/10
