Our Kind of Traitor
John le Carre
3.5*
"The unrivaled master of spy fiction returns with a taut and suspenseful tale of dirty money and dirtier politics."
Our Kind of Traitor is the story of Perry Makepiece and Gail Perkins, a young, vibrant couple vacationing in Antigua, who are inadvertently thrust into the position of amateur spies when they become the trusted confidantes of Russian money-launderer, Dima. From there, Perry and Gail become involved in a scheme to secure the safety of Dima and his family in exchange for top-secret information that will expose some top officials. What follows is a whirlwind of intrigue, suspense, and action bound to make your heart race.
Our Kind of Traitor by John le Carre was the first and only spy novel I've ever read, so it was not an easy read for me. It started off a little slow and I had a hard time understanding what was going on in the beginning, but once the story started moving forward and I began to understand how the characters were involved in the plot it went more smoothly. In fact, by the end of the book I was gripping my seat in anticipation of what would happen next.
