Charles Cumming certainly has the craftsmanship to write novels that are fast, very fast paced novels and an imagination to boot. for a British writer he has, curiously, the American penchant for absurd plot twists and hyperbolic pronouncements which inevitably destroy the mood and rhythm he has built. This book was such a disappointment that the reader should pay careful attention to reviews before purchasing.In this book, it begins with thee separate mysteries seemingly unrelated: the disappearance of an au pair, years latter, the murder of a retired couple vacationing in Egypt and a kidnapping in Paris. How these are related to the British SIS and the French SIS I will leave the reader to discover but do not hold your breath it will disappoint you with its absurd ending.This is unfortunate because the character of disgraced SIS agent Thomas Kell reminds me of a softer version of Len Deighton's Harry Palmer.
This book plods along at a steady pace with a lot of conversation and not much action even at its climactic scene. It warrants three stars because its plot is mildly intriguing and the progression of events, including the detective work required to find the various people who go missing throughout the book, is fun to read. There is nothing particularly memorable about the characters in the story. We have all read many books where similar characters can be found. All in all it is not a very satisfying read and I would not recommend it. There are too many other opportunities out there to read faster paced, more original and entertaining stories.
Amelia Levene is selected to be the next chief of MI6 and it’s first female chief. Prior to her moving into her new role, she decides to take a few days off in Paris. From Paris, she disappears. Concern mounts at MI6 and former MI6 officer Thomas Kell is discretely tasked to locate her. Kell knows Amelia well and if anyone can locate her, it is him.Whether Thomas does or does not find her, only the reader of A Foreign Country, the 2012 espionage novel by Charles Cumming, should discover. The journey to the discovery, however, is lined with danger and intrigue. When the reader feels, they understand the direction of this novel is taking, they will be shocked when it doesn’t.Having only recently discovered the novels of author Cumming, this reader is reading his work in reverse and very pleased with the growing collection of this author on his library shelves.
My fourth Cumming novel, and this one rates right up there with "Typhoon," which also comes in at 4-1/2 stars. In previous decades, I sought books with some socially redeeming value, with the goal of learning something in the process. I've now given up on that requirement entirely, and simply rate a book for its entertainment quotient. Did I enjoy reading this one? "A Foreign Country" meets that requirement completely. I simply immersed myself in it for its downright hedonistic pleasure.Are the plot and character actions in this book "realistic"? I have no idea, since spy organizations are so prone to duplicitous behavior that it's impossible to keep track of what's real and what isn't. But this is a rollicking good story, replete with all types of characters - those you'd like to know personally, and those you'd hope never to meet up with. But those characters aren't all midnight black or snow white. Some good guys do bad things, and at least one of the black hats shows elements of humanitarian feelings.I was surprised that the contemporary Brit and French secret services could exhibit such belligerent behavior toward one another, but the the frogs and shop keepers have been at each other's throats for hundreds (thousands?) of years, notwithstanding the brief (?) era of détente during the twentieth century. Maybe this is the way spy organizations operate, i.e., let's be friends on the surface, but keep the powder dry and the activities wet. And of course we have our own example now of how spying works, with the NSA tracking every last detail of Angela Merkle's life.While Cumming the Brit likes to tweak the CIA, in this book he admits that MI6 has its own share of incompetence and dirty linen. Working for any country's secret service would be last on my list of desirable occupations, even below being a Congressperson in today's climate, but "A Foreign Country" makes me wonder how any such service can possibly find recruits, given the unremitting life of secrecy, lies, and danger. Can't tell your family what you do, can't tell if your boss is leveling with you, can't guarantee that you won't be murdered at a moment's notice. Although "A Foreign Country" has no more than the minimum daily requirement of espionage violence, even that much is over the top. But it's balanced by the frequent non-violent interactions of the characters, with the threat of violence and/or bad consequences hanging ubiquitously in the air.
