Review: Great - Great
Review: A whodunnit follow up to Circle focusing on The Who rather than e how. - This was a continuation to Matarese Circle. Everybody is older and the “the usual suspects” are “baaack.” In many ways it was a pragmatic approach to the story, now that everyone is decades older. The drama was similar to Circle, but it’s more of a “whodunnit” or “who’s the bad guy now.” Both are good spy stories but Countdown is more about The Who and Circle is more about the How. Both good reads. I read them years ago and bought them back for Kindle reads.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ evil runs deep
*by J***B on August 14, 2023*

A wonderful sequel that’s probably more engaging than the first. Very tough to put down and hugely creative. Doubt there will be a third.
