Summary: Fantastic spy-thriller!
Review: I got this from a friend who didn't want it anymore bec. she feels that now that the Cold War is over, references to it in print are not politically correct. On the other hand, my only complaints about this book is that it lacks sex scenes.

Summary: Part mystery, part romance
Review: Neggers wrote an interesting tale, but put in so many characters all at once that when the action picks up halfway through, you're asking yourself, "Who's Judith?" or "Who's Sarah?" A little slow moving, it picks up and has a delightful plot twist at the end. Throughout the book, you feel Ashley's angst at not knowing whom to trust or who is after her jewels. A little contrived at the end, but a nice end nevertheless. There's a summary of Hungarian history from the beginning of time - REALLY LONG. If you're not into the history of Hungary, skip over it - you won't miss much. Parts of it are reminiscent of Sidney Sheldon or Nora Roberts, and in those times, you won't be able to put it down
