Mini review: 'Safe Houses' by Dan Fesperman

Safe HousesSafe Houses by Dan Fesperman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Dan Fesperman's latest - a complicated espionage mystery that moves back and forth through time, from 1979 West Berlin to modern day Maryland, with a strong heroine at its center. Its timing couldn't be better, as the action that sets the narrative going fits neatly into the zeitgeist of #metoo. Fesperman's crisp writing brings the world of Cold War spying to life, and he deftly maintains suspense as he moves between the two eras, weaving in real-life history of a super secret intelligence agency. I recommend it!
