Rezension zu „Delicate Truth “
I think he has easily burst out of being a genre writer and will be remembered as perhaps the most significant novelist of the second half of the 20th century in Britain. He will have charted our decline and recorded the nature of our bureaucracies like no one else has. But that's just been his route into some profound anxiety in the national narrative.

This is vintage le Carre and highly enjoyable Financial Times Thrilling, suspenseful ... Fans will not be disappointed Sunday Express Utterly convincing characters, a tight plot ...
