A Death In Vienna
I recently finished reading A Death In Venice, a Gabriel Allon espionage novel by Daniel Silva. As usual, it was an excellent read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. As I have mentioned on this Blog before, I have read all of Silva's more recent books, and am reading his older books in the reverse order of when they were written. I thought this book would be about the bombing in Vienna that killed his son and drove his then wife to madness, which would have indeed been sad, but it wasn't. I am beginning to think that that will permanently remain a back story. I only have three more books in the series to read, and so I will find out shortly. One jarring note is looking at the photographs of author Daniel Silva on the back cover of his books. Looking at the back cover photo on A Death in Vienna, Silva looks like a teenager, as opposed to the late middle age (he is 57 years old) photos on his more recent books. How lucky I am not to have aged like that. No doubt some sort of miracle.
