Robert Harris The Ghost (8/8/2023)
The book took over a hundred pages before there was any hint of a plot. When it came it was petty drab and only a faint copy of real life political events. The attempts at humour were just not funny.
I enjoyed his novel 'Munich' but this was really poor - even the bit where the narrator is sleeping with the PM's wife!
