This review is from: A Burnable Town (Jonathan Cape Original) (Paperback)
I love Philip Davison's work, not only his fairly literary Harry Fielding series of spy/detective novels, but also his earlier work like The Illustrator and Twist and Shout. I rarely reread novels, but I've read the first three Fielding novels two or three times each.
That said, I was rather disappointed with this most recent installation, which struck me as more pedestrian, more by the book if you will. The most interesting parts of these novels have always been Fielding's interactions with normal, everyday life: dealing with his father or his aunt or his exwife, for instance. It has worked better in the earlier novels than it works here. It's possible that Fielding has outlived his usefulness not only to MI-5 but also to his creator. |
