Book Review: Day of the Jackal

[Eric]

Frederick Forsyth's classic debut novel. Given his recent passing, I finally picked up this book; I should not have waited so long.

Reads like historical fiction. Meticulous descriptions and brilliantly written. The art of assassination -- in this case a fictional attempt on the French President -- plus a clinic on world class detective work.

Recommended read. 5 stars.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have always been curious about this one, will add to my TBR.
