Very enjoyable spy thriller with its own sense of style to it and its this style of writing which is probably the main strength of the book, it's quite unique and makes the whole thing feel fresh and snappy. 

Unfortunately, the downside to this prose style is that it makes all the point of view characters, and there are a fair few, feel like they're written with the same voice. Each of them, of course, has their own issues and viewpoints but the authors punchy analytical style of writing is present in them all which feels odd. Characters like Lamb should stand out in how they think and perceive the world to characters like Ho and River but you could read a paragraph from any characters internal monologue and confuse it easily for another. 

The plot itself is pretty solid, a tight little mystery plot that resolves well and has a few misdirections that are played quite well. There is an annoying tendency however to routinely dump a characters backstory in one go that feels inelegant and unnatural, especially during an early chapter that did so with four or five different characters which became rather draining.
