The Confessor (2004)
I will admit that I’d not come across Daniel Silva’s books before, despite having ‘aquired’ a few along the way. I don’t know what his reputation is, if I’m supposed not to like his stuff, or if I’m supposed to think he’s the best in his field.So…I will admit that this gripped me from the off, on...

The Kill Artist (2004)
"Se estivermos a vigiar um alvo a partir de um café, não devemos fazer coisas que nos façam parecer estar a vigiar um alvo a partir do café, tais como ficarmos sentados sozinhos durante horas, a fingir estarmos a ler um jornal."Daniel Silva introduziu-me, da forma mais extraordinária, o mundo da ...
Prince Of Fire (2006)
This is my 3rd Allon book and I must say I am addicted to Silva's creation of Allon. I know that Silva's writing projects that the Israeli spy Allon and Israeli intelligence is almost and always the best in the world, which might feel bit stereotyped in all his novel, but then I don't read Allon...
Retrato De Uma Espia (2011)
I feel torn about this book. It was an enjoyable read, but it felt a bit preachy and like it took itself too seriously. I also felt like it tried to oversimplify complicated issues. The main character, spy and assassin Gabriel Allon is strong but damaged, intelligent, intuitive, courageous, but m...
O Desertor (2009)
'The Defector' is the sequel of 'Moscow Rules', with the spy Grigori 're-defecting' back to Russia. Though Gabriel saved Elena and her two children from the tyrant Ivan Kharkov in the last drama, they are targeted again in 'The Defector'. It is amazing that, though Gabriel get the 'hype' in rol...
Den engelske pige (2010)
For someone who has just started reading thrillers,this book might seem totally exciting. But alas.! I'm not one of them. On the book cover there is a compliment by Daily mail,saying 'a cross between Jason Bourne and James Bond'. But Gabriel Allon didn't deserve such a high praise. He isn't much ...
O Caso Rembrandt (2010)
Although this book follows a time tested Silva formula, it's still exciting. Nazis, betrayal, spies, art work, Iranian nukes and the ever present "office" make it so. The author admits that the Swiss connection is concocted, even though they did help in dissolution of the third reich. The convers...
