Book Review: A Deniable Death by Gerald Seymour

I find some of Gerald Seymour's books hard going, they seem to be a tad too long. That was the case with this novel, the first half in particular was slow but this was all just building the relationships and setting the scene, it could have been cut a bit I feel?

However the second half of the book was a real page turner, I was so engrossed in the welfare of the two main characters, Foxy and Badger, and I could not wait to find out what happened to them!

The novel concerns a covert spying trip for the two main characters into the border land of Iran to get some information on an Iranian. They literally go undercover and carry out cover surveillance. The British government would deny that they knew anything about this.

It is a good book as the tension uncoils and the action starts in earnest in the second half of the book. The ripples that spread from someone getting some DNA from a bomb maker many months before are felt by many, changing the course of their lives.

8/10 for me.
