by William E. (Honolulu, HI) A Good Read Trinity Six
I have always been interested in the in the espionage of the "five" and so I found the book informative as to the individuals involved originally. Although it began slowly, the book became more compelling as it developed. I recommend the book to anyone interested in the period and or a good mystery.

Trinity Six was a truly enjoyable read. The plot hooked me within the first 10 pages and I had a hard time setting it down after that. Unlike other books in this genre, the plot was believable and the main character human. Very well done.

The introductory quote pretty much sums up this great spy thriller -- "...never catch a spy. Discover him and then control him ... A spy causes far more trouble when he's caught." I found the narrative a little confusing sometimes because of some of the background of the British spies, but it's a "page-turner" as you experience professor/historian Sam Gaddis' search for the sixth spy and his battle of wits with both the British and Russian espionage agencies. A good example of the genre. I thought it was well written with good pacing and a believable main character.

by Kathleen W. (New Brighton,, MN) Been there, read that?
International espionage? Double agents? Been there, read that? I thought so too until I picked up THE TRINITY SIX by Charles Cumming. The present day happenings, centered in and around academic Dr. Sam Gaddis, concern the 1930's British Cambridge spy ring of five. BUT... could there have been a sixth member and if so, who and where is this person today? This thriller is a fast-paced, creative and exciting, well-worth-your-time jaunt for the reader with perhaps even a sequel to follow? Something devoutly to be wished, Charles Cumming!

by Patricia H. (Norman, OK) Trinity Six
This is a typical English novel with lots of detail and a slower paced story than most American mystery novels. However, the story held my interest throughout the novel. The protagonist experienced a variety of emotions with uncertainty and fear the key elements as well as lots of action before he was finally able to safely resume his old life. But the reader will have to decide for his/her self if, in fact, the story has really come to an end. Well done.
