I didn't get much sleep last night, mainly because once I picked Spycatcher up I could not put it down. The author Matthew Dunn used to work for MI6 so for authenticity it's right up there with my other favourite used-to-be-a-spy-author Noah Boyd. The story, pacing and characterization are perfectly pitched and the fact that hero/antihero Will Cochrane isn't just a womanizing blunt instrument just adds to the idea that this is right here right now.
Interesting that William Morrow are publishing Dunn as they also publish Noah Boyd's books. Is there a spies only imprint coming to WM? Spycatcher lands in August - full review then.
