“Coincidences Happen”

written by Hughes280 on 28/12/2016

While talking to a client we discussed spy novels and she said her favourite was Beyond Enkription of The Burlington Files. It was mine too but for totally different reasons. She loved Edward Burlington for being better than Bond but I liked Edward Burlington's character because he has so many flaws. Only after a five minute chat did we reconcile our differences and lucky for me too as she reminded me a bit of Sara Burlington - as a legend - naturally! The point is the novel was written for film as they say all over their website. That means they made the central character intentionally bland so as you could interpret it any which way. I know because I had an email exchange with would you believe Edward Burlington himself!!!! Before I bought it I wish I had known it was coming out in hard back as I would have waited - I now own a softback and hardback but Bill Fairclough has promised to sign it if I ever go to London.
