The Spy Bewertungen

Ever since I discovered Ajay Chowdhury's wonderful Kamil Rahman detective novels, they have offered a feast of great stories, vivid characters, mouth-watering food and fascinating insight into the world of Bengali Muslims in London's Brick Lane. I love his mix of humane feeling, romantic comedy and very modern plotting. THE SPY is his fourth and most ambitious, tackling trans-continental crime,.and pitting his engagingly modest, emotionally confused and very brave hero against the worst villain yet. He is a pleasure to read. * Amanda Craig *
The plot races to a splendidly dramatic ending; Chowdhurys writing is compelling and compassionate, especially on the themes of displacement, and divided loyalties personal and political. * The Guardian *
Nobody writes about modern London like Ajay Chowdhury. This book rings with passion for the city's life, its food, its politics - and above all - its darkness. * William Shaw *
An intelligent, immersive thriller absolutely brimming with tension. Ajay Chowdhurys deftness of touch brings both realism and sensitivity to a difficult theme. Superb writing * Marion Todd *
The Kamil & Anjoli crime fiction series from Ajay Chowdhury is bursting with innovative thinking... If youre new to Kamil, what joy for you to have a long & growing series ahead of you * Paul Waters *
