Andropov’s Cuckoo – a spy thriller by Owen Jones
Andropov’s Cuckoo Review
By Enrico Grafitti on July 17, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition
Once in a while the heavy curtain covering the real world of spies and intelligence agencies is lifted and we get a glimpse of the motivations and crudeness that compels people to live that existence. Owen Jones’ latest story, ‘Andropov’s Cuckoo’, does just that, with a heart-wrenching account of a young girl who goes through hell and high water in the secret world of Brezhnev’s Russia in what is essentially a love story. The events described are extreme and told in a dispassionate manner familiar to many from the biographies you may have read. Purportedly this is a story that the author was told by people involved and the realism on the page is a true reflection of this.
Recommended for those you enjoy less-fanciful spy thrillers of the Le Carré variety.
