Disappointing

I hate to say it, but Alan Furst's the Foreign Correspondent is not exciting me. His stories are often loose, but while some manage to coalesce around an atmosphere, this one just feels disjointed to me. There are enjoyable bits, especially dealing with Italian refugees of the Mussolini regime in the pre-war years, but overall it doesn't thrill like prior volumes.
