Reviews for The Long Room
9 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sad tale of a British intelligence officer deluded into believing he's in love with the subject of his surveillance and what happens when someone with dark motives takes advantage of his fantasy life.Stephen is a "listener" who is tasked with surveillance on a suspected double agent who becomes enamored of the subject's wife Helen. Single and the only child of a lonely aging mother, Stephen leads an isolated life and his imaginary relationship with Helen distracts him from some very real manipulations right under his nose. What happens next is just sad. But the book is a slow burn and a satisfying read.
