It was slow and sometimes difficult to follow. I haven't read the other books in the series, so perhaps that's my problem, but I do acknowledge that the author clearly has an amazing knowledge of Russia and spying.

Enjoy Dryden's writing and this was a thriller that satisfied my curiosity! I love the fact that he doesn't need his characters to use swearing for effect.
