Smiley's People by John le Carré
5.0
A return to form, foun this was a noticable improvement on The Honourable Schoolboy and a fine way to end the Karla Trilogy.
A superb plot and one that was also very personal and poignant, Smiley's swansong and the final crossing of swords with Karla. A sparse but fitting ending. I found this one was feeling similar to The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and I was expecting a similar end as Leamas.
Just two more Smiley books to go, I am curious as to where the series goes from here.
A very solid 4.5/5 which is sure to be rounded up. Top 3 in the Smiley series for me.
