Gavin Scott perfectly captures the atmosphere at the end of the war. It might have been over on paper, but the facts were rather different. He captures the people of the time too - we have cameo appearances from a young Margaret Thatcher, Kenneth Tynan, Robert Maxwell and many others. It might not have added a great deal to the story, but it put a smile on my face.
There's a very satisfying outcome to the plot - I had several other people pencilled in as the villain of the piece, but came nowhere near the real solution, which was very satisfying. ''The Age of Treachery'' is billed as being the first a new series and I'd certainly be pleased to see how Forrester's adventures continue. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Age of Olympus (Duncan Forrester Mystery 2) by Gavin Scott|book two]].
If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[The Light of Day by Eric Ambler]] and [[The Return of the Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett]].
