Representaion Toward Books Hoogverraad (Tweed & Co. #4)

This is another proper spy book. And it starts by stating the obvious. There's a traitor in the MI6, and now we follow a bunch of characters around, trying to figure out who among it is. You know the players, you know what they do, and you suspect every action. As typical of the genre of that type, there's a lot of geo-hopping, something that James Bond established in the previous decades, so you need at least a dozen exotic yet weird locations to support the plot. This was before you could go on Google Maps and see what gives for yourself.

We will also get to see the charming Tweed character in several other books. All in all, laid-back rainy Sunday kind of thriller book, the modern day equivallent of Poirot's mysteries. Wossname. You get the idea.

There was a man named Tweed,
Double agents he set to mislead,
About face,
National disgrace,
For hunting spies was his creed.

Cheers,
Comrade Igor McTrustyface

Discuss Of Books Hoogverraad (Tweed & Co. #4)

Not bad. Only my second Colin Forbes book, I was looking for something akin to John Le Carre. This was sufficiently rich with geographical and procedural detail and to hold my interest, without any of the characters being excessively macho, a common flaw I find in 70's and 80's books of this type. Tweed isn't as likeable as perhaps George Smiley, but he's not a complete arsehole either. Next up: Deadlock.

Interesting book. One of Colin's book I love.A real thriller book and an unpredicted ending.

Good thriller, Colin Forbes set a high bar for quality thriller s.

gritty but predictable

A forgotten gem of a thriller. Colin Forbes has done it again, though I did notice that it had a bit of language. The others I have read had practically none at all. I can't wait to read another murder mystery from Forbes!

Brilliant. Keeps you guessing to the end.
