Ministry of Fear was excellent. I had previously read The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, and The End of the Affair, all of which I would recommend. My wife and I spend a lot of time in Antibes where he lived. His grand nephew works in a bookshop there and recommended the biography of his partner Yvonne Cloetta. Greene was an interesting guy (former MI6). He also wrote the screenplay for The Third Man which is one of my favorite movies.
