Critic reviews

"Once again demonstrating his ability to probe the moral murkiness of the spy trade and create an absorbingly diverse ensemble, Seymour crafts a sophisticated, reader-teasing tale." ( Sunday Times on The Corporal’s Wife)
"When readers get to the nailbiting climax...they may be wondering why they should bother with any other thriller writer." ( Independent on The Corporal’s Wife)

Would you consider the audio edition of No Mortal Thing to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version

Who was your favorite character and why?

Juliet - she was a strong understated powersource. In another setting she would have been a force for some other outcome.

Any additional comments?

The ending was out of character. The banker was intelligent and meticulous and would not have made a basic error which would have allowed money to be traced which caused the downfall.

An excellent Seymour book.

Just as good second time around - excellent character portrayal, background information and fast moving story.

Captivating

One incredible, fascinating, nail biting thriller , Gerald Seymour has to be the best, find out for yourself.

Superb Again

Well written as per usual, plot seemed a bit forced. Rather than flowing like usual with this author.

contrived

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I love this novel even though it does not appear to be everyone's cup of tea. It is a typical mix of Seymour oddball characters rather like a Le Carre novel. It was absorbing and I could not stop listening. The ending was exquisite and I did not feel that the story was stretched out. If liked me, you are a Seymour fan, give it a go.

One of the best Seymour novels
