Title: I think he's past it
Review: I've been reading, and enjoying, Le Carre's books for 45 years or so and have often marvelled at the way in which he manages to bamboozle the reader with the plot twists. Not so in this book. The end was pretty obvious from about the third or fourth chapter. Of course, you are sceptical that you can have picked the ending, given Le Carre's normal plots but sadly I was correct. Unfortunately, this book was dull, had no, or only obvious, plot turns (no real twists), and the characters were almost comic book in their predictability.
