Archive Nostalgia: I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes

I'm bringing back my review of I Am Pilgrim for those of you looking to get stuck into an addictive thriller this summer! I’m not someone who normally goes for spy thrillers. I find that all too often they can be cliché, predictable and populated with gung-ho, rather arrogant heroes. Nevertheless, after being pestered by my entire family I relented and finally put my stuck-up literary nose into this ‘spy novel’. It turns out that I Am Pilgrim had me eating my words.
