5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Interesting..., September 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Smith and Jones (Hardcover)
What does a Security officer do when diplomats who are in his particular charge decide to defect? The case of "Smith" and "Jones" shook two continents. And what it did to the special assigned to them was something else again.
Blood-chilling...based around the Cold War era.
I highly enjoyed reading "Smith and Jones."
Monsarrat has created very interesting characters AND a very unique storyline.

I saw most of it coming...., September 18, 2000
This review is from: Smith and Jones (Hardcover)
This book is advertised, as being a "puzzling mystery" but it really isn't. There really isn't even a "puzzle" to solve, only one factor is left out of the book, and the reader has to figure out what it is. I am very bad at figuring out endings to mysetry novels, but this one was so painfully obvious. The plot was interesting, and the characters well-developed, but it is also outdated, and littered with Cold War paranoia. If you're looking for a "puzzling mystery" please don't read this book.
