Chronicle To Books Dodelijke Delta (Tweed & Co. #1)

I had first read a couple of books from this series when I was in college around 1994. Unfortunately, at that time, I did not get the opportunity to read the series from the beginning. So here I am in 2020, starting off the Tweed & Co adventures fresh and from the start.

"Double Jeopardy" is the book that introduces us to Tweed & Co. From the first book it is very apparent that Tweed, will lead the series not as the protagonist but as the mastermind and the mentor behind a few protagonists over the entire series.

The plot is broadly about a train journey that 4 world leaders are set to undertake to a summit in Vienna. British intelligence reports suggests not one but two threats to one of the world leaders, by both East German communists and the neo-Nazi Delta group, who have been targeting spies around the Lake Constance area of Switzerland. Tweed and his junior Keith Martel (and other characters who feature in many more of Forbes's later books) have to find out who is behind an attempted assassination, as well as a Communist conspiracy to to garner political advantage in the run-up to the German national elections. With a character based loosely on the infamous Carlos The Jackal, "Double Jeopardy" becomes a timeless classic and an engrossing thriller all in one. It was written in 1982, set in East and West Germany, the neo-Nazi angle was an intrinsic part of the German political climate during those times. The pacing is quite fast, the narrative is simple and the plot does not get too complex.

This is definitely a series I am looking forward to finish as apart from the fact that I really want to meet the characters that I had come across in college days, this series also brings back memories of college days when getting your hands on a Colin Forbes novel was something to celebrate.

Assess Containing Books Dodelijke Delta (Tweed & Co. #1)

A very good read, really like this author.

I enjoyed the book, but have to say that there were few clues to give the reader a feeling they were included in the detecting. The first novel I've read by this author, so I'm going to give another book a try as this one left me kind of feeling that the author did not want the reader to figure out the plot behind the murders. The whole story was rather confusing. However, I am hoping another book will develop my continued interest.

This being the first book on Tweed and Co. It doesn't have the usual character set, but it has laid the foundation of having multiple suspects and a fast pace.

-

A perfect book for armchair detectives. Four polictical figures, four guardians. One of the former is to be assasinated by one of the latter, but who is the target and who is the rat?

Unfortunately, this review is over a week after finishing it and my main recollection was there were too many characters in a good plot which made it difficult to follow, particularly after leaving the book alone for a few hours. My first read of this author. It has not put me off and I look forward to his second book.

A story of European intelligence in the 1980's. The assignation of a world leader is in the mix, and the race is on to stop the assassin. It is not a complex story and the second half is fast passed.
