Mexico Set (Penguin Modern Classics) : Deighton, Len: desertcart.in: Books Review: Len Deighton Trilogy - Part of the trilogy Berlin Game, Mexico Set, London Match. Masterpieces! Review: You wouldn't want to play chess or poker with Deighton--he would figure out all your best moves or hands. I was skeptical of his being one of the top British spy novelists, but his genius proved me wrong. From the first paragraph to the last, this book is cinema in prose. The twists in plot are unpredictable. His insight into human motivation, personality and body language are unparalleled. It's the psychoanalyst's version of Smiley's People. This guy is worth the read.

Love this type of novel. Good pace good characters and lots to imagine. You can read out of order but better if you follow the set

I love these books. This is my second time through the 9 book Bernard Samson series. This time I will also read the 10th "background" book that comes 4th in the over series, Winter. On the surface, they are spy novels, and provide a level of suspense and action. But on a deeper level, they are psychological and relationship novels.
