4.0 out of 5 stars
Still a powerful English author
Michael Gilbert, while a master of the short story, is still putting out excellent novels. I sometimes feel he is the most traditional of English authors and may lose some non- anglophile readers. As he has aged his work may have lost a step but this book is still first class reading and opens up a view of the first World War many Americans do not know.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe a Master, but regretfully didn't get it
This is a typical old British zigzagging slow-motion thriller(?) that needed you to read along with an English housekeeper's patience. I prefer Forsyth, Follett and Archer's modern English more than this Grand Diamond Dagger Master's, and would like to skip it anytime possible; just a personal thought.
