A review by drdreuh
The Confidential Agent by Graham Greene, Ian Rankin
3.0
A curious little spy story. My expectations were high for Graham Greene novel, but "The Confidential Agent" reads more like a short story. A snippet, or sketch on the way to a more fleshed out book. Amusing, but not particularly captivating.
The London geography is fun. I'm not sure I understood a few key plot points (wait - why did she get thrown out the window), and the characters' motivations and relationships seemed forced (wait - when did this love affair launch?). ... But it was fun.
