Argyle is a stunning debut spy thriller by Elly Conway. It is fast-paced and almost perfectly plotted. It brings readers into the colourful exploration of the undercover world of espionage and the world of betrayal.
Aubrey Argylle has been living in tropical backwater, Myanmar as a tour guide after the death of his parents. He accepted the CIA's offer and received intensive training as a secret agent. He is good at everything he does and is a consummate professional when it comes to fighting bad guys.
His first mission is to steal a priceless bracelet that belongs to Russian Presidential, Vasily Federor, a man who is known as the greatest threat to world stability. He travels around the world to stop the machinations of over-the-top villains. I do find the notion of period-set crime fiction captivating, especially during the rumour about the discovery of the Amber Room which inspired a series of treasure hunts. I love the idea of some shared universe between Bond and Jones embedded with today's world! 4.5 ⭐️
