I'm not a lover of spy novels, yet I adored this book. what Macintyre reveals - but not too quickly - is the extent to which those who confided in him, as friends or colleagues or both, were made unwitting accessories to treason' - Evening Standard at least as compelling as any of the great fictionalised accounts of Britain's greatest traitor and one of the best real-life spy stories one is ever likely to read' - Daily Express
'It reads like fiction, which is testament to the extraordinary power of the story itself but also to the skills of the storyteller.
To read A Spy Among Friends is a bit like climbing aboard a runaway train in terms of speed and excitement - except that Macintyre knows exactly where he is going and is in total control of his material' - Daily Mail 'No one writes about deceit and subterfuge so dramatically, authoritatively or perceptively. 'An engaging book on a tantalising and ultimately tragic subject, If it starts as a study of friendship, it ends as an indictment' - Philip Hensher, Spectator
