Daniel Silva and Gabriel Allon
It is mid- July and I have finished “The New Girl” by Daniel Silva. The book was a bit longer, so thankfully I didn’t read it one sitting. But still it will be a year before Gabriel Allon appears again. I know Mr. Silva isn’t already writing, he’s touring but I would seriously like him to get to work. I don’t know how I got lost in the character of Gabriel Allon but it was many years ago. He is serious, dangerous, lovable, with a very dry humor that can make you laugh out loud. I don’t know how to a review a book. I’m 66 years old and no longer remember spelling and the rules of grammar or punctuation. So anyway: Over time the character development has been wonderful. The novels are always are jaw clenchingly fast paced. At no time do you suspend disbelief. Everyting, no matter how outlandish, is believable. You want to meet these people and have take you everywhere they have been. You want to hug Gabriel and fall in love.
This author ruins me for weeks. I can’t pick up another book. No one writes this incredibly well. Books by authors I love become trash. Daniel please go home and started.
