This review is from: Send No More Roses (Hardcover)

Eric Ambler, like Graham Green or Summerset Maugham provide much more then a mystery story: their work is well written, assumes an intelligent reader and has plenty of philosophy or "background" that is interesting and worthwhile. Ambler's use of "tradecraft" is similiar to Jorn LeCarre's, "Soldier, Tailor Tinker Spy".

Ambler has written about twelve books, all available in used form, and all concerning espionage. "Send no more roses" makes the reader a willing confidant and one is able to compare the action of the hero with what he might do in similiar circumstances.

A very enjoyable experience: you'll want to read "A Coffin for Demetris" and some of his other novels too.
