I first saw Richard Armitage in Spooks playing the character of Lucas North and can certainly see traces of this character in Geneva. U couldn't put it down and was also mightily impressed that the story addressed the issue of dementia. This was brave and it is extremely well thought through. As a first novel I can say that I hope it's not too long before the next, but with this man's talent as an actor he will no doubt be very busy. Having heard him narrate other authors I think I will be planning a listen to the audiobook. Yes, a very enjoyable and readable( if that makes sense) novel.
