Customer Reviews

Enjoyable; 3.5 Stars

An enjoyable and somewhat unconventional espionage thriller by the veteran writer Gavin Lyall. Set in the years prior to WWI, Spy's Honour is a set of interconnected stories about the nascent British Secret Service. Not the best of Lyall's books, this is still an entertaining book with solid characterization, decent plotting, and a series of slightly exotic settings.

comedy and thriller

I read Spy's Honour and I think it's definitely one of the coolest books I've ever read. The characters are just great - Conall O'Gilroy is someone you have to like anyway, but Gavin Lyall also manages to make the reader like Cpt. Ranklin very much. The book has a great story - that is to say, it has about four great stories that go together nicely. Besides, it features a lot of historic information.
