BOX 88
BOX 88
by Charles Cumming
Not Charles Cumming´s best by far (4/5/2023)
I have read Charles Cumming´s earlier novels which I found good to excellent. His recent books; Box 88 and Judas 62 are lengthy tomes; written in boring conversational dialogue, and lengthy descriptions of sheer trivia. The very concept of an international intelligence organisation such as " Box 88 " is in my opinion absurd and lacks veracity. These books are boring and a far cry from Cumming's excellent novel "The Spanish Game".
Disappointed !
