📚 The Night Agent toys tantalisingly with tension - In-Depth Review 📚
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Author (Platform): Matthew Quirk (Kindle)
Publisher (Release): Head of Zeus - Aries Books (2019)
Normally, I like to read the book before watching any show/film based on the material, but I kicked off Netflix's The Night Agent without much thought. It wasn't until some casual research after the series's completion that I found Matthew Quirk's political thriller, giving me the opportunity to experience the source material after its serial interpretation.
It's interesting. The show is faithful to a point, managing to keep the novel's spirit even when it deviates, imbuing it with the pulse-pounding political paranoia that Quirk creates in his book.
Overall, The Night Agent tells a full, fabulously nifty political thriller. Where the show has more action leanings, the source material carefully crafts a conspiracy that captures the reader, and, while it stumbles as it tries to find the energy to make it to the end, it has a definitive finale that closes the novel with a fairly satisfying thump.
