If you've read most of Frust's novels, as I have, you know the ones he writes of communist spies are full of paranoia and deception. Sometimes this can be confusing. You don't know who the characters might be, or which team they are on, even if they are on their own team's side. This is true even if you do have a scorecard.
This one was a bit better than most of his communist spy stories. But occasionally, I lost track of where the story line was going. But that's communism for you.

Some of this story was interesting but I ultimately did not finish the book, although I came close to it. Did not hold my attention as much as I had hoped. WWII story, some settings were familiar to me, but ultimately too drawn out/too long.
