The Spy Who Came in from the Cold sounds pretty interesting, I just wish I could get it as an ebook.

I voted for The Scavenger's daughter. Seems a bit behind in the poll but these are early days..
Other nominations sound similar to what I have already read or have actually read. |

I'm hoping one wins that I have access to. But I've voted for The Scavenger's Daughter as I want to read this one regardless.

I'm not going to vote this time. I'll read whatever wins (unless it's The Firm, since I've read it already).

There's a big difference between a second book in a trilogy vs a second book in a series. To me, the latter just means they are related and have the same characters and locations... sort of like Star Trek... you can pick up pretty much any one of them, they are all stand alone books. So, when you say "series" do you mean this is part of a single story or just same settings and characters? BOb |

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is perfectly fine as a stand-alone work. IMO, it's the most (only) readable Le Carré. But it's still pretty dated.

I read The Spy Who Came In from the Cold many years ago, and thought it was very boring. I couldn't understand why it was so popular! Oh well, different strokes for different folks, and all that!

I enjoyed Heat Wave, both as a stand alone story and for its connection with the TV show.
