Book Review: The Spy Who Came for Christmas

January 3, 2010 By pgarry

My last Christmas book of 2009 is The Spy Who Came for Christmas by David Morrell. It definitely was nearly the best – I give that title to Anne Perry’s A Christmas Projmise.

But Spy is a very good book. A good story. Human characters. A spy on the run from his team, to save the baby who might bring peace to the middle east. And in a spiritual twist, the baby may be guiding the spy. An excellent family providing shelter for that babe on Christmas – a battered wife, a disabled child. The despicable batterer showing up, nearly spoiling it all. And a curious tie between the hunter and hunted. The spy is a good guy, and excellent at his craft. With Santa Fe’s Canyon Road Christmas walk, full of revelers, as the backdrop.

A Christmas thriller – who would have thought it could be so good?
