Here's my Fiction Wrapped for 2024! Favourite read: Citizen Orlov by Jonathan Payne https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B8T2VVG1 Wasn't the best written or most interesting, but it has the quality of being so against the grain in the genre that I can't help but appreciate the author for going out on a limb. I've tried to do the same with my own novels but haven't received anywhere close to the same acclaim. π Favourite watch: A Spy Among Friends https://m.imdb.com/title/tt15565872/ The cinematography and pace of Ripley almost got it top spot, but A Spy Among Friends was really really good. It follows Kim Philby's exfiltration from the UK and early life in the Soviet Union, but hypothesizes that the British met with Philby in Lebanon to convince the Soviets that he was a plant and could therefore not be trusted. Honourable mentions: Bodkin, Ripley, A Man in Full (series), The Diplomat
