    A mystery novel for a muture and seasoned reader
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2011*

The "Quest for Anna Klein" was written by Thomas H. Cook. The book is an espionage mystery novel with a historical setting. This is one of several books written by Cook. He received the best novel Edgar for The Chatham School Affair as well as the Martin Beck Award, the Herodotus Prize for best historical short story, and the Barry for best novel for Red Leaves.The writing style is conversational; questions, answers and a tale are woven into alternating time periods - present and past. The prose is rich in structure and salted with moral and philosophical ideology. The setting begins in America and Europe circa 1939 when Germany and Hitler was rising to power.The tale is about one Thomas Jefferson Danforth, son of a well to do importer, living in New York city. Primed by his best friend, Robert Clayton, the unfulfilled and callow young Danforth, gets caught up in a plot of espionage that the conspirators name "the project". As Danforth is progressively drawn in by Clayton, Clayton introduces him to Anna Klein, a spy in training. Needing a location for training Anna Klein, Clayton convinces Danforth to provide his summer house in Connecticut (Winterset) for that purpose.As Danforth observes Anna's training he is slowly and inevitably attracted to her; finally abandoning his current life to follow her to Europe as a co-conspirator in "the project". After arriving in Europe and initially completing some surveilance 'the project' is abandoned and a different more ambitious conspiracy is hatched. Before this new plan can be implemented, a traitor exposes the conspirators. Anna Klein is captured and taken away, Danforth is released.  This begins Danforth's life long quest to find Anna Klein and to reveal and kill the traitor.The tale from here takes many twists and turns and Danforth's steadfast resolve is slowly broken by the truths he invariably discovers: truths that are sometimes stark for "he knew the question had never been whether [he] would live or die, for that had been decided long ago." Danforth's struggle to confront his lost life and find meaning in his quest is brought to the reader as the final pieces of the puzzle are exposed.I thought the book was quite good. I imagine that the prose and style would appeal to a mature and seasoned reader as I would also imagine that a lessor student would find the reading tedious. My knowledge of events, names and places often forming a part of the novel backdrop was not polished and I felt I missed some of the historical drama the author intended. However, I felt that if you have the steadfastness to read the entire novel, you should not be disappointed. I found at least one instance where I had to go back and reread a passage as the linkage (a 100 pages or so) between a name [Kulli Demir]and the character was lost to me. There was also one mystery that seemed to leave an open question....why did Alma give Paul the neckless?All and all I would recommend this novel be added to your reading list.

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015*

This is the third "Quest for . . ." book I've ordered.  I've sent copies to others.  I would have sent mine, but I was afraid that it wouldn't get returned. My daughter-in-law "borrowed" the copy I sent to my son.  typical.  I've read the book twice.  The second time it was a relaxing trip  through the writing, total pleasure, unhurried.
