The Bucharest Dossier Book Review

At the start of the 1989 uprising in Romania, CIA analyst Bill Hefflin, a Romanian ex-pat, arrives in Bucharest. At the insistence of his KGB asset, code-named Boris. As Hefflin finds himself in the middle of an uprising that quickly turns into a revolution.
“Chanticleer International Book Awards 2020 Grand Prize Winner in Global Thrillers, The Bucharest Dossier is spectacular.”
Filled with mystery, Hefflin has to be quick on his feet. Spycraft is at its best in this novel. Especially when he realizes the revolution he is caught in is being manipulated by outside forces. Those outside forces even include his employer the CIA. Let’s not forget about Boris though, a KGB asset that plays a bigger role in the life of Hefflin, and only later is he able to put those pieces together.
Curating Edits Review
The Bucharest Dossier has everything, it has mystery, spies, politics, family secrets, and love. It discusses certain topics that did occur but the big whoa-moment has to do with the love story. Boris is one of my favorite characters. He is a commanding, serious, bigger-than-life persona, the spy of all spies, and the keeper of secrets.
The secrets, aside from the politically relevant ones, are the ones he has regarding why Hefflin is his handler of choice. Hefflin, Fili, the same, that heart of his my goodness, the sentimentality he has over things in his past touched my heart. I won’t spoil anything but it’s a page-turner.
Recommendation
I recommend reading The Bucharest Dossier before the NEW release of William Maz. The Bucharest Legacy* will surely be another award-winning book. CE has also reviewed that book which you can check out here.
