The Tourist by Olen Steinhauer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a fantastic novel. Very well written with very developed characters and an extremely well thought out plot. The setting is detailed well as characters travel.
This is a complex tale that requires paying attention and reading as much as possible in any one sitting.
The main character is different from most in the espionage genre. He’s written far more like a character you might find in a trade paperback listed in a NPR top book list. So are many of the characters. All are woven into a spy tale that, I agree with so many other reviewers, belongs aside Le Carre.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 10 out of 10 points.
