It's always dicey to compare books with the movies/TV shows they inspire – books are one thing, movies and TV another. That said -- man, I wish the TV adaptation had Herron's snappy pacing and sharp wit. It feels so conventional in the way it slogs dutifully along, and the books are anything but -- they're twisty and ttightly wrapped and they move with a velocity that sometimes requires you (me, anyway) to put them down and take a breath. That's not the way of the TV version, and it's too bad -- a waste of really excellent source material.
... and to think I thought the clean living Jackson Lamb aka @GaryOldmanWeb had a healthy life-style until I read the epic fact based spy thriller, Beyond Enkription in #TheBurlingtonFiles series as part of my MI6 induction program. It’s a must read for espionage cognoscenti.
