Summary

Russian defectors are dying, and only Charles Thoroughgood can make it stop.

‘He saw Cleaner Bob arrive that morning, the morning of his death.’

In the peaceful towns and villages of England, Cleaner Bob is washing windows, and people are dying in sudden and unexpected circumstances. When it becomes clear that the victims have a common history as Russian defectors, foul play is suspected and a hunt begins to locate their assailant, the lethal poison that killed them and the mole who is leaking their locations.

In a race against time, only one man has the connections and experience to crack the case before more people perish. Charles Thoroughgood, former head of MI6, is enjoying retirement in the Oxfordshire hamlet he calls home when the call comes in. A man of duty, he agrees to take part in a mission that will lead him into the heart of enemy territory and threaten to undermine the very values he holds most dear.

Tense, engrossing and terrifyingly believable, the latest Charles Thoroughgood novel is a timely and brilliant reminder that Alan Judd is a master of the spy thriller and a writer of the very highest quality.

Bargain Basement Le Carre (spoilers)

This was simplistic and braindead. No interesting revelations. Waited for a twist that never came. Apparently a satisfactory ending is everyone dying who is involved in the case. Nice and clean I suppose. Written by someone who thinks women leaders are useless because they go on maternity leave and offices supporting their LGBT+ employees is ridiculous. Mental health support is for weaklings etc etc. Jingoistic garbage. Being a Le Carre fan I was hoping for a substitute but really sorry I wasted my time on this garbage.
