Last Days of the Condor by James Grady

2.0

This is a fast paced, action packed, complex spy thriller. I think I may have fared better with it if I'd read the previous books in this series. The dialogue is sometimes confusing, being almost a stream of conciousness and it's not always clear who is talking. I'm sure it was written this way to add to the pacing and to keep the reader off balance, but the further I got into the book the more irritating I found it. After reading the blurb on the back cover I had been really looking forward to reading this, it could have been a great story of post 9/11 paranoia within the security services, but I was disappointed with the disjointed style and the rather rushed ending.
As I said I may have enjoyed it more if I'd read the other books but in my opinion this was a day too far for the Condor.
