Fans of 1960's espionage will probably enjoy itBy jc_anthroCouldn't quite decide whether to give three or four stars. Gave it the benefit of the doubt. It is a good book, of both it's genre and of it's time. It is dated though, which for me is part of it's charm but for others may be off putting. It is also clearly the work of a young man. At the same it is an enjoyable espionage story which is also a subtle dig at the genre itself (it doesn't treat itself all that seriously). Probably its best aspect is really an evocation of a certain kind of Britishness with a twist of the absurd. Fans of slick modern espionage stories bristling with technical talk and weaponry will be disappointed. Fans of 1960s espionage will probably enjoy it.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension ...By J. NelsonAs the suspense builds I found it hard to put this book down - no wonder I'm so tired. A great tale of cold-war espionage and East - West tension in England and Berlin.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy IlberySomewhat prolix Alexander Eberlin is a small, faceless civil servant working for the Government at the height of the Cold War. As he nears middle age, he allows himself one luxury - to dress like a Dandy. His superiors send him on a mission to hunt down and destroy a cold-blooded and vicious Russian assassin named Krasnevin, who is responsible for a number of British agents' deaths. But Eberlin has a secret - he is Krasnevin. This is the story of what happens when Eberlin is sent to destroy himself. Now back in print fifty years after it was written, The Times says A Dandy in Aspic is 'A well groomed anecdote to today's fast-paced thrillers with gym-buffed heroes. Eberlin is the real deal.' 'Graceful and brilliant' Sir Tom Stoppard 'A classic of the cold war spy stories - one of the earliest and one of the best. Marlowe's Eberlin/Krasnevin is on the run from himself on different levels and in different places: the evocations of London and Berlin in the 1960s are superb.' Piers Paul Read 'Derek Marlowe writes like John Le Carre at the top of his form' Yorkshire PostAbout the AuthorDerek Marlowe was born in London in 1938. He was a novelist, playwright and screen writer. A Dandy in Aspic, his first novel, was originally published in 1966 and became an international bestseller. It was translated into 15 languages and Marlowe himself adapted the book into a film starring Laurence Harvey and Mia Farrow. He was the author of eight further novels, including The Disappearance, which became a film starring Donald Sutherland. Marlowe had one son, Ben, and died in 1996 at the age of fifty-eight.
