Title: Tedious
Product review: This is a tedious, long drawn out book about a very old theme. Many times I thought to put the book away, not to finish it, but thought it might get deeper into the character of Catherine Blake. She could be great (though utterly ruthless) but her character could have been taken much further in this book. Instead, it concentrates too much on the rather stuffy Vicray who becomes progressively more tedious. All in all I don't consider this a very good book and it should in no way be compared to "Fatherland" as suggested on the jacket, since that story is truly fascinating. The Unlikey Spy is a repetition of a theme so old and repetitious that it really wasn't worth the time.
