Local notes
I've thoroughly enjoyed other titles by Robert Harris and needless to say this one did not let me down. This title is a thinly veiled story of the writing of a Tony Blair memoir by a ghost writer which has political intrigue at the forefront of the story. Harris brings alive contemporary politics and the machinations of those in power through fast paced action which demands to be read in a sitting.
The twist at the end is a particular surprise.
