Review: Daniel Silva's series of novels featuring art restorer and Israeli spy Gabriel Allon never fails to please. This latest instalment is another satisfying tale of international intrigue and espionage as well as dark dealings at the heart of the political system. The story begins with Gabriel Allon is asked to investigate discretely the disappearance of a young English political adviser who has been the secret lover of the British Prime Minister. The story leads from London to the island of Corsica and then to the heart of Russia where the Israeli spies have run into difficulties in the past. Gabriel's usual team is involved in the complex investigation which reveals the truth about what's really going on, with the `old man' Ari Shamron, still going strong. As usual, Daniel Silva's plot twists and turns with one or two developments which I did not see coming. It is grounded in current security concerns; you can imagine that events such as these could possibly unfold. Allon is soon to be the chief of the Israeli security services and I was concerned that this might mark the end of the series. I am therefore thrilled to see that the next story is due for publication in the summer. I've already pre-ordered my copy! Long may the Gabriel Allon series continue. If you enjoy good contemporary spy fiction, then you should definitely read these books. You could start with this one which is an excellent example or you could start with "The Kill Artist" and read the series in order. If you are new to Daniel Silva, I envy you having all those wonderful books to immerse yourself in.

Review: If you are a regular of Silva's work you know what you are going to get. I guessed the twist but it did not spoil my enjoyment of the book. If new to the author then do start with The Kill Artist. Personally, I then consider The English Assassin, The Confessor and A Death in Vienna to be a brilliant stand alone trilogy amongst the series. If I could give The English Girl 3 and a half stars I would - not as a criticism but just because of the familiarity the Gabriel Allon stories now possess for me.
