I enjoyed House of the Hanged by Mark Mills which is set mainly in coastal France in the 1930s. Main character, Tom Nash, is under repeated threat because of his work as a British intelligence agent immediately following the Russian revolution. At that time he killed a Russian he believed was responsible for the death of his lover. Tom has made a new indulgent life for himself and receives guests during the summer season. He is very close to one particular family who stay nearby. One member of that family is Lucy, Tom's goddaughter who is now 20 and looks at Tom in a different light. It was a good "spy yarn", but too long with too much "padding". 31/2/5Wednesday, October 15, 2014
