![]() ![]() I Am Pilgrim is a spy thriller but it is so much more than that. So, giving as little away as possible, here are just a few of the reasons why I Am Pilgrim is one of my reads of the year. In fact, I met the editor at the Crime in the Court event in London on 4 July and he did mention that there had been talk of a ‘Director’s Cut’ – much had been chopped. ![]() Normally, such a lengthy book can be quite a commitment to read but I would have happily devoured a book twice its length. Even more extraordinary is that this is a novel of 700 pages. From the very first to the very last page, I was utterly enthralled by this astonishing novel, a debut, no less. I picked it up knowing very little other than that it was not my usual sort of read at all – a spy thriller beginning with a gruesome crime scene – but I was assured that I should put all my preconceptions to one side and jump onboard and hang on. I Am Pilgrim is a book that I don’t want to tell you too much about. ![]()
