Summary

Charles Cumming’s gripping new thriller series surrounding BOX 88

Waterstones Best Espionage Thriller of the Year

Sunday Times Thriller of the Month

Financial Times Thriller of the Year

The location: West Africa

The player: 24-year-old spy Lachlan Kite

The target: A war criminal on the run

The objective: Kill or capture

Kite’s mission should be straightforward, but it soon turns into a terrifying game of cat and mouse along the beaches and backstreets of Senegal.

Now, nearly thirty years later, it seems the game isn’t over.

And unless Kite can turn the tables on his pursuers, the inner workings of the secret state could be exposed…

A bit disappointing, but a solid third instalment

Unlike the first two books in the series, Kennedy 35 lacks the paranoia and sense of being ill at ease operating undercover - the feature that usually most distinguishes the author's' writing.

There are also almost too many uninteresting disposable characters here - actually became quite hard to follow who was who at one point - not helped by absence of pauses between short scene swaps (production issue).

So a bit generic and bland, perhaps a bit rushed even - but still a fun instalment, looking forward to the next one - hope the quality of the first two will return.

The narrator is once again superb - there appears to be no limit to his ramge.

Best of the three!

Can’t wait for the fourth! Would be great if they settled on a narrator. But a great book love the Senegal parts
