""A Coffin for Dimitrios" is a solid meditation on the nature of evil disguised as a detective novel. Ambler is an excellent writer- very close in style to Graham Greene or John Le Carre, with the same taste for exotic locales and finely-wrought characters. The book also gives a good flavor of the political and social chaos in Europe between the wars- you can imagine the kinds of people who benefited from that sort of instability."

"I had high expectations for this book, especially in light of the back cover blurb: "Hailed as the first great modern spy novel." It generally met expectations: best aspects included some colorful characters and the evocative late-1930s European settings: Istanbul, Athens, Sofia, Belgrade, Geneva, and Paris. Lots of cafe scenes late at night.

Two reasons it fell short of five stars for me: very little classic spycraft (the narrator is a mystery writer, not a spy), and the fact that much of the story was told via flashbacks, which tended to make me feel one step removed from the story and reduced its emotional impact."

"I'm not usually into thrillers, but my husband loved this book so much that I had to read it. It didn't disappoint. Ambler is considered one of the granddaddies of spy novelists. This one was published in the late 1930s, and taught me that though many subsequent spy novels and thrillers were set in World War II, there was plenty of intrigue to go around before that conflict erupted. The story is of Latimer, a British detective novelist. When a Turkish secret policeman who is fan of his books shows Latimer the corpse of a criminal named Dimetrios, Latimer's curiosity is piqued and he begins to trace Dimetrios' trail around Europe. As you can imagine, his search attracts the attention of some of Dimetrios' less-than-savory former colleagues--and noir-ish adventures ensue. Fun and fast read, great dialogue and atmosphere, creepy characters."
