Media Reviews
An interesting, unexpected thriller, this tries - and succeeds - to mix romance with the dark arts of espionage . . . Written with a flair for place and irony, it paints a very different portrait of the macho world of spooks than the one we're so often treated to, but is none the worse for that. Blessed with an edge-of-the-seat ending, Jenoff's third thriller is the antidote to Bond, leaving you stirred, if not shaken' DAILY MAIL * 'Pam Jenoff has taken a new twist on the spy novel . . . if agent Jordan Weiss may not be exactly the next James Bond, . . . she may be a very credible, arguably more human, female alternative' THE TIMES *
Part thriller, part romance, Jenoff's story is a tidy package of secret financing, organised crime and a bit of stuff on the side' TIME OUT * `A thrilling story, imaginatively told' CHOICE *
Her best book yet . . . A credible and nail-biting story . . . The Officer's Lover is a real treat' LANCASHIRE EVENING POST * '...a masterly job of blending romance, friendship, loyalty, greed, spies, the political ambitions of the rich and powerful, and a bit of shady World War II history into a suspenseful and multilayered novel' LIBRARY JOURNAL *
Read this if you love an edge-of-the-seat thriller with a dash of romance...a killer of a novel!' NW MAGAZINE * 'An enjoyable, pacy thriller' HERALD SUN *
