The Collaborators by Michael Idov is a spy thriller. Arie Falk, a CIA operative, tries to figure out what is going on with his informant Maya Chao. I did get a little lost in what was going on as the two cris crossed the globe. There seemed to be a lot going on all the time.
I do think a little tighting up the story would make it flow. Thanks for an advanced copy to read.

The Collaborators is a bona-fide deep-in-your-veins espionage thriller that captures the essence of the trade without compromising the adrenaline-rush of high-stakes fast-paced writing.

The Collaborators is a great read to get your brain juices flowing and an absolute delight for spy fans who take their adventures with a healthy dose of realism and detailed tradecraft. I am so excited to read more from Michael Idov.

This book just went on and on and on. I think it could have used a lot of editing. It just did not work for me.

A page turner, to be sure. But, this spy novel doesn’t quite reach the promise of the blurb comparing this to Slow Horses. A fun afternoon read, tho.

There's nothing wrong here, and plenty right (concept, relevance, timeliness), yet I found myself struggling to stay with the story and keep turning pages... I'm not really sure why - the writing is fine and the idea an intriguing one - beyond saying that the writer's style and my reading style just don't seem to have meshed well.

Exciting. Good blend of action mystery about who is doing what to whom. Overall premise a bit implausible, but overall very entertaining.
