"With A Mind To Kill" is a masterful conclusion to the James Bond series, as penned by Anthony Horowitz. With a fast-paced, dark, and brutal plot grounded in history, the book provides a glimpse into the world as it was during the Cold War Era. It's a sad but necessary conclusion to the James Bond series. Any complaints I have are put aside as I realize this is probably the last we'll see of Bond for a very long time, at least from the likes of Horowitz.

Anthony Horowitz is my favourite author of all time. His writing is sublime, gripping and suspenseful, without being difficult/complex to read. His characterisation is excellent and I was really intrigued as to how the book played out. Phenomenal as ever
