Another thrilling Gabriel Allon tale which incudes another pairing with the English assassin, Christopher Keller. The historical vein now stretches into Northern Ireland and Silva handles it with his effortless style and panache.

Too many characters to keep track of and too much detail regarding street names, vicinities, etc.

Daniel Silva’s The English Spy grabs you immediately. Though it is the 15th book in the Gabriel Allon series, do not hesitate picking up this book as your introduction to Gabariel Allon. Silva provides each character’s history and their…

this is a bridge for Gabriel's career to the spy head office. I enjoyed the read, wish the book was a bit longer to fill out the final revenge scenes. I agree with pw1040 below. The references to current political events makes the story…

Not one of Siva's best works. The ending was disappointing.

Michael Connelly just gets better and better. Although primarily a Harry Bosch story, Harry does interact with Mickey Haller as he moves from police detective to private detective, working for, you guessed it, Mickey. We struggle as…

I'm a big fan of Silva and his Allon and Keller characters. However, I don't think this was one of his best efforts. The book was entertaining but the plot felt unfocused and not as well thought-out as that of previous books

Silva once again comes up with another superb Gabriel Allon thriller. Many writers decline after a few books but Silva is still definitely at the top of his game.

Due to the high numbers of innocent deaths, Silva's stories have hollow conclusions for this listener. 4 of 10 stars

I enjoy a story that captures my interest from the first page, and this novel succeeds in doing so. I also enjoy learning…new terminology, words, information about various cultures and true historical events. The writing is top notch, the…

Five stars. A sixth star for weaving prescient political commentary on current US-Middle East relations into the fabric of the story.

Israeli spy Gabriel Allon works once again with English assassin turned operative Christopher Keller in this book that weaves the murder of a princess in with a ruthless Irish terrorist hired by familiar enemies. Silva writes a good, tense…

I always look forward to novels by this author, in the same way I might look forward to an especially delicious meal. I really enjoyed this novel, a page-turner salted with many opportunities to reflect on global politics and evil…

Likely the last outing with Gabriel as an agent out with the bad guys. He is destined for a desk or is he? The Iran nuclear treaty should give the folks at Mossad plenty to deal with stay tuned.
