“While Portrait of a Spy and Fallen Angel are both page turners, The English Girl bored me. The story is very slow and didn’t engage me until the team came together very late into the story. It ends very satisfactorily, however, and I was very happy about the presence of Christopher Keller. He is a wonderful character, and I hope we haven’t seen the last of him.” by Amazon Customer
