The Outsider
0Mystery and suspense, two ingredients that make a crime thriller a success. In The Outsider, King has served the reader with a hefty dose of both. He pulls you into this novel, presents a mystery with so many possibilities, you can’t turn the pages fast enough to reach the plot conclusion. By the midpoint of this novel, you’ll have so many theories and explanations as to how a man can be in two places at once, your head will be spinning – you’ll formulate and reformulate, and that’s what makes this novel so interesting.

Kingdom Of Souls
0Kite’s story is told from two perspectives: that of the older, experienced operative, decades into his career as a spy; and that of Kite as an 18 year old, on his first mission. I thought the juxtaposition of the spy “origin story” on the one hand, and the supremely talented operative on the other worked extremely well, and over the course of the novel we get a pretty great portrait of Kite, his work, and his evolution as a person and spy.
Long description
