Reviews
Convoluted and implausible
3By Jwk1470The first half of the book really dragged. When the action started to pick up in the second half of the book, the plot became increasingly implausible. The last hundred pages were a confusing whirlwind. It was very hard to keep the characters straight. I read to the end, but I didn’t particularly enjoy the bookThe Hiest

5By DeefromHoustonGreat story with vivid images of beloved cities in Switzerland, France, Italy and more. Gabriel Allon is a character full of compassion as well as brute force when necessary. This is the second Allon book I have read and will not be the last.The Heist
3By MagicMangoTangoNot as good as his previous works. Cast of characters are repetitive and the plot line was predictable. I felt that he was painting the Heist by the numbers. I think that Silva owes his followers more creativity then he present to us in the Heist. As always, I have enjoyed reading all of Silva's books. I look forward to his next work.Well Done
