BERKLEY The Messenger by Daniel Silva - Paperback

I've now read and reviewed all the Gabriel Allon thrillers so this review marks, for me, the end of a saga.In many ways `The Messenger' ranks as one of the best and most gripping of the entire 14 volume series - although after finishing the book I firmly believe Saudi Arabia should be at the very bottom of Daniel Silva's holiday destination list.Two attempts on the life of the Pope, a rediscovered van Gogh painting worth many millions of dollars and the funding of international jihadism are just a few of the elements that make it extremely difficult to put down the book. Ari Shamron together with some familiar members of Israeli intelligence also play a critical role whilst the American CIA are never far away.And, in the last few pages, Ari Shamron finally persuades Gabriel Allon and Chiara Zolli to sort out one or two issues completely unconnected with international terrorism, missing of Old Masters and rediscovered Impressionist paintings.Read and enjoy...

Another Ronseal moment and considering some of the rubbish I've read recently this is a rare and special moment.Well worth the read.

This is my first on line review.I have read all other of Daniel Silva's books and was truly looking forward to this one. It is superb.I feel his style has changed slightly through the Allon series and this book sets out it's narrative in an enjoyable and tense style.Whilst his writing will never be top rated by many newspapers because of his pro-Israel standpoint, I find it refreshing to read the opposite view from what we receive via the majority of the world's media.

once again it is one ovf danial silvas earlier books but what a tremendous read ,he should be praised for being up there with forsyth wambaugh m connoly tom callaghan and all the others of this ilk
