Meh, it was a spy novel. It was slow paced between missions but a little quicker pace during the missions. I didn't really get to know the characters so it a as hard to care about them and whether or not they made it through a mission. The narrative felt very "check the box" to make it through a spy plot, but not cohesive as a story line.

Argylle is an action filled spy thriller with a mystery author. While the characters could do with more detail, the plot is embedded with historical information, mysterious missing Nazi artefacts and an evil Russian aiming to win an election by finding the famous Amber Room taken from Russia in WWII.

Aubrey Argylle inadvertently saves some US operatives while working as a tour guide in Thailand (and trying to track down information about his parent's deaths) and ends up on the CIA's radar. The team he's assigned to appear to have a traitor in their numbers and their leader is determined to get answers. A romp through Europe follows, taking the group to France, Belgium and Poland, with plenty of action on the way as they're chased by Russian operatives. 

Don't expect the upcoming film to be based on the plot at all but it would make a fun action film in it's own right!
