I have to say, this is the very slowest and calmest spy story ever written! It's one of Bindloss's last novels and set in the Border area of Scotland during WW2. As a picture of the home front it was fascinating, with just a mild spice of danger from the intermittent spy activity and related murders in the area. There were lots and lots of characters to keep up with, but eventually I got used to them.
If you're interested in home front Scotland in WW2, grab a copy. If you're looking for your next spy thriller, though, this isn't a thriller!
