I'm not really sure if I would call it a spy story but it was great and different from most I've read except maybe The spy who came in from the cold. I have to hustle because I got the latest book in the series as an arc and now I pay for not starting reading these earlier. On the other hand I like to read series back to back so my mind is up to date with the developments. I really liked The Tourist and have allready started the next adventure.
