I'm not going to say much more about the plot, it's not a long book, so it doesn't take long to read if you're interested. I feel like the language (minus some of the dialogue) holds up really well for when it was written (1915). I haven't read or seen anything about this story before, but I saw that quite a few adaptations have been made about this story. I can see why. It's a good story!
I guess my one complaint would be the plot they're trying to thwart. I didn't really quite understand it, and later when it gets "cleared up," I still didn't quite understand. If I look back, I'm not sure that it matters all that much. In the end, all you need to know is that they're trying to stop a plot.
I was really impressed by how this book didn't hang around longer than it needed to. The writing flowed well, and I recommend it if you're in the mood for a good, old-fashioned spy thriller. Good Book!
