Die Paris-Option.

The pacing in The Paris Option kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wonder what specific techniques Ludlum used to maintain that suspense throughout.

With so many covert operations and secret agendas, I sometimes struggled to keep track of who was truly trustworthy. Was that intentional or just me?

The city’s atmosphere added so much to the story — I wonder if Ludlum wanted to evoke a particular mood or if it was driven by plot considerations.
