I read this July 2014
It was the August Waterstones Book Club at the Arc Bury St Edmunds book.
We were asked this month to pick something from Waterstones own central bookclub chioces.
I'm rather glad we choose this as it's a quintessentially British spy/detective/art dealer/ bumbling idiot/really intelligent underneath it all type character.
Bit P.G Wodehouse/ Anthony Burgess type book to read.. written in the 1970's I found at times I didn't quite know what era it was supposed to be set in, but that didn't seem to matter much.
It had lots of little clever asides...
Very enjoyable - I think I shall rad some more of thsi author's work (unfortunately he died in 1985 but I believe more of his are being published.)
9/10
