Espionage Novels

[Tea Lady]

Thanks for the link A Cousin.

I am just nearing the end of Stella Rimington's first novel "At Risk." I think it is the first of, now 4 novels, with the main character Liz. I will give Stella the benefit of the doubt, as it is her first novel but it is a little heavy of the cliche. The suave MI6 officer that you can't trust, the non existant love life, the useless police officers who just sit around drinking tea etc etc. Perhaps this is near to the truth though from Stella's experiences.

It is a good read but a sort of holiday spy thriller that will do very nicely round the pool. The spycraft is good though and doesn't go anywhere near James Bond fantasy land.
