Agent Running in the Field

i've been meaning to read this for a little while now, and it's been a long time since i read a le carré, but his writing is just as lush and intriguing as i remember. i loved so many of the details in this, and the groundwork and character depth was impressive. but overall i felt like the story took a little too long to get to the main plot, and while it was fast-paced, it somehow felt like it was dragging a little for a good chunk of it. i kind of wish i hadn't read the book summary, because it gave a little too much away somehow, haha. i really loved the ending though and how things unfolded once they got going, and truly just love le carré's writing. also listening to le carré actually narrate his own book was lovely.
