Ace Of Spies: The True Story Of Sidney Reilly (2004) - Plot & Excerpts
Well, as the rating says it was ok....... This book could have been so much more. The author has obviously gone to quite some lengths to research the background of this mysterious, self aggrandising character. The book systematically debunks a lot of the Pepita/Lockhart promoted myths about Reilly. The writing is decent but surprisingly for such a detailed book the reader is left feeling that there was more to be said.The Kindle Edition (which I read) was let down by the fact that the automatic link to the copious footnotes was missing which made it difficult to navigate.The Thames Television Series was excellent, I know I am watching a work of pure fabrication when I sit down to enjoy it but in this case fiction is so much better than fact.
