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 The plot was interesting, and the characters well-developed, but it is also outdated, and littered with Cold War paranoia.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.
