Media Reviews
Full of insider technical detail, [The Kill List] packs the punch Forsyth's readers relish, complete with a breath-taking denouement in the desert that makes it impossible to put down...A master storyteller -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
I was gripped by the story of the lone assassin hired to kill President de Gaulle. I reread it last year and found it just as enthralling. It hadn't dated a bit. More than four decades later Forsyth's new thriller proves he has lost none of his powers. The prose, like the plot, is as taut and lean as ever. That reflects the journalist that first and foremost Forsyth has always been. So too does his unerringly topical eye. -- Fergus Kelly * Daily Express *
THRILLER OF THE WEEK - A contemporary update on the theme of a deadly assassin closing in on an important target * Mail on Sunday *
