I can’t remember how exactly this one ended up on my list,
but I knew it was a spy thriller. I think there’s even a movie.
Devereaux is sent on a mission to figure out what a specific
agent knows. The guy is hoping to get his windfall and disappear, but it’s not
meant to be. A relative of the Queen is in danger, and Devereaux’s R Section
wants to leverage that to stick it to the CIA and get in good with British
Intelligence.
Okay, I think I’m getting old. There was a woman in the
book, and of course, they had sex. I really didn’t care for it, and I ended up
hating her. She was supposed to be able to handle things going on around her,
but she was just whiny and scared the whole time. I kept wanting her to die.
There was a character I ended up really liking, but they killed him. I think
that made me hate the woman even more, because she really didn’t contribute
anything except some smut.
The writing itself was decent. It would just get confusing
at times. These moments would always end up being cleared up, but in the
moment, it could get frustrating. The other issue was the number of characters
and whose side they were on. I felt like I needed a list after a while, but it
was too late by that point.
There are more books with Mr. November, but I’m out. I couldn’t really get a good read on Devereaux, and I really ceased to care after a while. And when they killed off my favorite character, that’s never good if I’m considering sticking with a series. It wasn’t a terrible book, I just didn’t enjoy it.
