Summary and Reviews of A Death In Vienna by Daniel Silva

Media Reviews

Booklist - Connie Fletcher Scrupulously avoiding the whiplash that comes from too much action in too many places in too short a time (an endemic condition in lesser spy novels), this finely wrought thriller reads like an exquisitely suspenseful chess game.

Library Journal - Robert Conroy Warren This is Silva's seventh novel and the concluding volume in a trilogy featuring Gabriel Allon, an aging, lonely, and reluctant Israeli assassin and art restorer.....As usual, Silva has crafted an exciting and complex novel. Recommended for all fiction collections.

Publishers Weekly Those seeking cheap thrills should look elsewhere. Action and suspense abound, but this is serious fiction with a serious purpose.

Kirkus Reviews A muffled hero caught in lethargic intrigue that will be disturbing news for readers who haven't already heard that many Austrians are in deep denial about their wartime history and that American hands aren't exactly clean in the matter of rehabilitating Nazis. The most chilling section is the historical note at the end.
