For this Spring study group, we are going to continue our exploration of Espionage. We will read one book per week and have lively discussion about the settings, characters, plots, writing styles, and differences among the books, which were written over a period of about 80 years. The books we will read are: Assignment in Brittany by Helen MacInnes (Titan Books 2013), Original 1939; The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon (Orion 2013), Original 1959; The Odessa File by Frederick Forsythe (G.P.Putnam’s Sons 2012), Original 1972; Paris Spring by James Naughtie (Head of Zeus 2016); Breaking Cover by Dame Stella Rimington (Bloomsbury Publishing Plc 2017); and Slow Horses by Mick Heron (Soho Press 2020). All books are available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle versions. This study group meets the first 7 weeks.
