The Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson is a nice quick read for those who like spy novels.
What I especially enjoyed was the protagonist's time in Afghanistan and Berenson's ability to create a very high tension level. I found the character's mental state transitioning back from Afghan life to U.S. life also very well done.
The book had a well-developed bad guy with a good plan that kept the reader guessing until the end.
The secondary characters were fine, but didn't really move me one way or the other.
My main criticism is that when the protagonist was in the U.S., why wouldn't he just pick up the phone and call for help or call in a tip.
That being said, it is a decent read.
