This was a very interesting and exciting read. It took a while to get used to the format and the style it was written but contained excellent twists that I never saw coming. Can't wait to read more by this author.
Although an enjoyable story, it was slow going and not much happened in the end. Also not a huge amount of Marple. She could easily have not featured and the book wouldn't have missed her.
Excellent listen and very typical James Bond book, is very dated now but that doesn't take away from what is an excellent spy novel at the time and also a great book for any James Bond fan.
