Spy novel master John LeCarre has passed away. He has been a mainstay in my reading since my early teens, when I first read “The Spy Who Came in from the Cold”:

I read that early this morning

I read his books - they were a great escape

I'm obviously rather a fan. I loved his work.

RIP....I’ve only recently gotten into his books, but really enjoy them.
