Kill Day (Duncan Grant Book 1)

It has been a long time since I last read a book that I couldn't put down. So well written. Developed characters, twisty plot and kept my interest all the way to the end. Excellent.

I enjoyed this so much as it wasn't slick or predictable. Believable characters and we'll written. Look I g forward to the next in the series.

One of the best and deepest stories of espionage and controlling corruption I've ever read! A true masterpiece of fact, fiction and probability. The stories index well from one to the next - or previous - and yet the continuity remains unbroken!A wonderful piece of writing and one I am keen to follow! Thank you!

I only discovered this Author earlier this year, but somehow have missed some of his books?? Regardless, my latest read was Kill Day - one word, riveting! Unpredictable and fast paced, his attention to the smaller things just help make for better reading. If you're looking for a read that holds your attention from the first line to the last paragraph, look no further Kill Day is the one for you. Now on to Dead Flags! Highly recommend this author.

This is the first book in this series by Andrew Raymond, I enjoyed it so much I immediately downloaded book 2 in what I hope becomes a longer series with this main character in this book.I came across this writer earlier this year when I downloaded his series of 4 books based around two journalists Novak (male) & Mitchel (female). All full of political intrigue, CIA, MI6, MI5, GCHQ with plots and twists turns on every page and across various continents. I couldn’t get enough of them. And this latest book was a different character and plot, but just as great a read.I like this writer every bit as much as Lee Child, John Grisham and James Paterson plus many others, never a dull moment and unable to put his books down.

I enjoyed this book so much that it inspired me to start reading the entire series!

Follows the usual spy story (loner with a sense of justice discovers internal corruption structures as part of an assassination mission against one of his predecessors) but this time in UK (MI6). Leaves room for sequels

I have read Andrew’s Novak & Mitchell series and a couple of his DCI Lomond series, and I have enjoyed them all. The Novak & Mitchell series were all cracking books and probably one of my favourites series, along side Alex Smith’s Kett series. This book, Duncan Grant - Book 1 - didn’t disappoint. Andrew’s books are always fast paced, full of action and keep you on edge. I’ve already downloaded the second in the series. If you haven’t read Andrew’s books I would highly recommend you do. 5 out of 5 from me.

This was truly a great find. Plot twists and character flaws are abound in institutions designed to keep a country safe from evil. Who watches the watchers?

Legenden, Action und Geheimnissen, Moles und Traitors, Politik und Versprechen, Vertrauen und Freundschaft, Super Fieslingen und noch größeren Superfieslingen, Helden, die die Welt und noch mehr retten oder es zumindest versuchen. Eine Menge Spaß lauert in den Kellern der Fantasy.Duncan Grant ist ein secret squirrel des MI6 und einer der Besten. Ein rookie noch, aber das Grüne hinter den Ohren verblasst im Anbetracht der Ereignisse schneller als es gewachsen ist.Eine botched MI6 mission in Lyon öffnet die Dose der Pandora, führt ihn und den MI6 straight away in den physischen und psychischen Abyss. London, France, Congo und dazwischen Henry Marlowe, eine MI6 Legende gone rogue , der, wie Jason Bourne untergetaucht, dann augenscheinlich aus dem off grid aufgetaucht ist und augenscheinlich Officer killed und auf revenge aus ist. Augenscheinlich.Ein fast, action-packed hunt, der direkt in die high Politik und in die senior ranks des MI6 führt und nicht nur Grant sondern auch den gesamten MI6 in tödliche Gefahr bringt. Super.Warum dann four statt five star rated? Mmmh, am Anfang hatte ich Schwierigkeiten mit Grant zu connecten. Zu glatt und rasiert, zu konstruiert und zurechtgelegt wirkte er, ohne Ausstrahlung, blass.Aber mit den Seiten und dem Fortgang der Story gewann er an profile and character und Seriösität.Am Ende hat er mich überzeugt und ich freue mich auf den zweiten Duncan Grant "Dead Flags" und auf eine Reihe rsp Serie, die noch einige kurzweilige Stunden mit dem secret squirrel verspricht.

As I read this story, I could not stop comparing the various plots and characters to the Bourne movies with Matt Damien.

It will be interesting to see what progress the author makes in his next effort. This was a complex, well conceived story but the main character especially was just dull. There was no texture, no lust - just actors going through the motions in more of a puppet show than a real life story. Less plot machinations and more passion might result in an additional star.
