A recommended review

In the Washington Post last week, Adrian McKinty, author of the fine crime novel Dead I Way May Be (among other books), reviewed David Ignatius' Body of Lies.

I read Ignatius' book as well, and was quite impressed with it. It's a very entertaining and well researched thriller, reminiscent of the word of Frederick Forsyth and Daniel Silva.

I think I liked it a little more than McKinty did, but his critique is insightful, well written and informative. (I also agree with the minor negative critique that he makes of a few aspects of the book.)

Since I might not be reviewing the book myself, I refer you to McKinty's piece. It's well worth a read, as is Body of Lies.
