Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carré

5.0

Superb, I would agree with most that between this and The spy Who Came In From The Cold, they are equal top for the two best epsionage novels.

This one is the fifth in the Smiley series and first in the Karla Trilogy. A superb plot and all the charcaters we have come across already in the series. I am very much interested to see where the series goes, next up The Honourable Schoolboy.

I would say that whilst this book could be read standalone I would start from the beginning of the Smiley series to fully appreciate it. Although it could be read on its own or the trilogy as a separate thing.
