The Spy Who Came for Christmas by David Morrell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a pretty simple spy story with a faswcinating trelling of the story of Jesus as a spy story included. The book is worth reading just for this great effort by author Morrell.
This book would be too simple if not for the flashback story of how all got to be where they are. Those dimensions make the book further worthwhile. Seems to me Morrell works a bit too hard to bridge his spy story with the story of Jesus, but that isn’t enough to pan the book.
The characters are well written, especially the family involved. I was a bit confused with the setting, what little is involved in the book, and believe a knowledge of Santa Fe, New Mexico, would help better imagining the story.
Bottom line: I recommend the book. 7 out of ten points.
