The Foreign Correspondent by Alan Furst
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
A pretty good pre-world war thriller come spy novel that ended somewhat on a dud note or rushed. The author seemed to run out of steam, or was setting up for a sequel, or tried to play the ending very low key and hit the wrong note.
I haven’t read any Alan Furst before, but reading other reviews it seems his other books are better, if not great, and the ending of this book was a little atypical.
I did enjoy my easy read of this and the main character (a Parisian Reuters correspondent who is an anti-Fascist Italian emigre) is very enjoyable.
Maybe more Furst in the future.
