Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The plot of these gets thinner and thinner with every new release over the past few years. And, predictably repetitive: a beautiful woman, an espionage novice, is guided by Allon to take down the bad guys. Limited character development of new characters, repeat characters reduced to caricatures, abundant repetition of boilerplate, and unforgivably bad editing. The vivid supporting cast from previous novels barely appears and has virtually no dialogue. Most of the novel is presented via a smarmy-toned omniscient narrator who does nothing to breathe life into the characters we all love. I so much miss the depth and rich complexity of the early Allon novels. The past few have been worthless money grabs profiting from the affection readers have for the earlier works. A sad disintegration of what was once a great series.
