A Murder of Quality by John le CarréMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Here Smiley solves a murder, his circle of suspects include old friends from his spy days. The truth leads to places he'd rather not go, and so again there is no victory in the truth and the novel ends on a bleak, tired, lonely Smiley.
This is one Le Carre novel that is a straight up mystery and not a spy novel. It has lots of twists and turns and no one seems to be who you think...very well written. But I have to admit I missed the mystic of the spy genre.
