Just a little behind the power curve in reading this, the 3rd volume of a trilogy (story arc?) starting with the English Assassin and The Confessor. I find the story of the holocaust to be riveting but hard to take in large doses. Silva is a fine writer of thriller novels. This story concerns the...

The final work in Daniel Silva's Nazi troika of the Gabriel Allon canon (along with my favorite &quot;The English Assassin&quot; and &quot;The Confessor&quot;) is another steady read. What I appreciated about this one is that there isn't as much over-the-top violence or romance, rather a gradual bui...

I wanted something completely different from what I am currently writing and a spy novel fits the bill. The writing is clean and fast, which reminds me to step away from the damned adjectives!<br/><br/>Sad to say the book failed to live up to the exciting first chapters. In fact, Silva used a few li...

Although I didn't realize it when I began this series, this is the final book of Silva's &quot;series within a series&quot; treatment of the Holocaust. (The first two: The English Assassin and The Confessor). A Death in Vienna was one-star better than the first two, as Silva waited until the end t...

This was my first Daniel Silva mystery, but will not be my last! This is the 4th in the Gabriel Allon mystery series, starring Allon, an Israeli intelligence agent. In this mystery, Allon is tracking down a Nazi war criminal who was responsible for hiding the murder of thousands of Jews at Treblinka...

This was the first book of Daniel Silva's that I have read and I thought it was well done. It's actually the last book in a trilogy of sorts, but I felt it stood alone well enough. I won't get into the plot here as you can find that other places if you really want it. I'll only say that I read a ...

Set across Europe and in Israel, A Death in Vienna is a spy tale intent on righting some of the wrongs of The Holocaust. Part-time spy Gabriel Allon is sent to Vienna by The Office (think CIA, but deadlier) to investigate a bombing at the Wartime Claims and Inquiries office. Following clues to the i...

I wouldn't have picked up this author, except my mom left one (The Secret Servant - which I loved) at my house. This is my 2nd book with Gabriel Allon, Israeli spy, as the main character. The theme of this (it's part of a series, I've learned) has to do with WWII/Holocaust, specifically the surfac...

Though Israeli agent Gabriel Allon's unraveling of the mystery behind the bombing of an aged Nazi-hunter's office keeps the reader turning pages, its real value lies in the haunting story that is told about Gabriel's mother. This novel is most compelling--and painful to read--when author Daniel Sil...
