4.0

I really enjoyed this. It is well written, suspenseful, and there is an enjoyable cast of characters who interact and develop well. I'm a fan of history, but haven't read much around the Cold War so this was interesting and has made me want to read more. I also liked seeing the dynamics between the siblings and how their partners adjusted to living within the family, especially the siblings-in-law relationship between Maya and Toby.

Short chapters keep the pace moving and tensions high. There are so many secrets that by the end it is a little hard to keep track of who knows what, but overall it is a great story and satisfyingly told. Great for fans of thrillers, Cold War history and intrigue.
