![]() Forsythe hasn’t fallen into the usual trap of making his leading man totally infallible and for that reason I think you end up rooting for the killer more than you possibly should. The race is on to see who will reach their target first and what the eventual fallout will be.It is a well written novel with characters that come to life and it is easy to visualise the settings. The storyline is a solid one, an unknown Englishman man is hired to kill the president and the powers that be must identify and stop him before he manages to complete the deed. I can’t put my finger on the reason but I just didn’t enjoy this book anywhere near as much as I thought I would. The Day of The Jackal - Frederick Forsythe ***This is my first book by Forsythe, he has always been one of those readers I meant to pick up, the blurbs always sound as if I will love the contents of the book, so what better place to introduce myself than by reading perhaps his most famous novel, The Day of the Jackal’.I have always loved spy thriller books and read many different authors from Fleming & Deighton, through to Higgins and Innes and started reading with high hopes. ![]()
