Evaluate Based On Books A Colder War (Thomas Kell #2)

A Colder War marks the return of Thomas Kell, a disgraced British spy, who when his boss, C, finds herself in trouble and in need of an off the books clandestine operation pulls him somewhat willingly back into the game. Kell is assigned the thankless task of pulling his boss chestnuts from the fire and saving the reputation of MI6 with no official recognition. This worked very well in the previous book, A Foreign Country. Here, although entertaining, the plot/storyline does founder at times,

Flawed hero in the middle book of three. Lots of action and suspense along with what the author calls "trade craft"--how spies go about their business. Personally had a problem with Kell's sudden and obsessive romance with a younger woman, but perhaps that's just part of his flawed character. That and his relationship with Amelia, his manipulative boss.Oh, and Jot Davies is high on my list of narrators I enjoy.

A cold, calculated mission without any graphic violence. It read very much as I'd imagine real spies work. Kind of boring from an action standpoint, but the characters & their feelings, calculations, strengths & weaknesses took up the slack. It's an ugly job, but someone has to do it. Well done, but I won't want to read another for some time. I didn't care much for the people. They were too real with no hyperbole, just normal feelings like wanting to keep their jobs even though the

A spy thriller with a slow paced plot.I was excited to receive this book as part of goodreads giveaway. I had heard a lot about its prequel A foreign country and was eager to get started on this one. The slow placed plot was a major disappointment, aren't spy stories supposed to be racy from the word go? Thomas Kell as a character who is a disgraced spy is good and intriguing. Although slow to begin with the last 150 pages is where the action lies and is a reader's delight from that point. Gist:

"A Colder War" is Charles Cummings sequel to his first Thomas Kell novel, "A Foreign Country" (reviewed here). I love Gentleman-thief's novels. I don't usually do book or author comparisons, but this time I'm going down that path.Is it possible to write successful spy fiction in Le Carrés Milieu? Yes, it is. Charles Cumming proves it. In my teenage years I fell in love with spy novels. I devoured everything Le Carre, Len Deighton and Graham Greene ever wrote.You can read the rest of this review

Well written adroit thriller. Walking sad spy stereotype gets the chance to redeem himself by investigating colleagues death. Careens all around from there.

A Colder War follows Thomas Kell as he is recruited by the top dog in MI6, Amelia, in order to investigate her lovers death. He was stationed in Turkey at the time and all is not what it seems. There are cracks showing in the typically tight knit spy community, and Kell has to traverse dangerous terrain to get to the bottom of the mystery. There are warnings about the Americans, and suspicions about everyone he comes into contact with in order to solve the mystery. Whilst attempting to determine
