Amazon.com Review
An Amazon Best Book of the Month for March 2015: All the Old Knives
has a disarmingly quiet start, but good spy novels are like good spies:
they draw you in, earn your trust, and then grab hold with both hands.
In Vienna during the mid-2000s Henry and Celia were intelligence agents
and lovers who witnessed a terrorist hijacking as it took a shocking
turn. Five years later, the two meet over dinner at a restaurant in
Carmel-by-the-Sea where Celia now lives as a civilian, to recall the
events of the past. As the remembrances overlap with the present moment,
tension mounts and questions of who did what to whom, and why, become
increasingly urgent. By the last 100 pages SteinhauerÆs hook is firmly
embedded and itÆs hard not to race to the finish. And the ending? I
can sum it up in one word--brilliant. û Seira Wilson
Review
A sneaky little gem... Steinhauer sustains the difficult balancing act
of melding a heart-racing espionage plot with a credible dinner table
conversation. (The New York Times)
A splendid tour de force...without neglecting the turmoil of the geopolitical
landscape, the novel focuses more intensely on the equally treacherous
landscapes of the human heart. (The Washington Post)
It's not news that Olen Steinhauer is among the best contemporary espionage
writers, and All the Old Knives confirms it. If you're a fan of intelligent
spy novels that don't need much bang-bang, details about ordnance, or
people who save the world single-handedly, this one's for you. (Seattle
Times)
Most of All the Old Knives revolves around Pelham and Favreau's dinner,
and the fact that the book moves so swiftly and alluringly is a testament
to Steinhauer's skills as an entertainer. He stretches considerable
tension across an entire book, rather than a handful of swift scenes,
and it's gratifying to watch him do something so daringly retro and
contrary to what we've come to expect in a thriller. (The Richmond Times-Dispat-

Terrific standalone thriller...There's great narrative energy in the
thrust and counterthrust of the dinner conversation, as well as in the
re-creation of the Viennese events; Steinhauer is a very fine writer
and an excellent observer of human nature, shrewd about the pleasures
and perils of spying. (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
Masterfully plotted and suspenseful stand-alone...Steinhauer expertly
shifts perspectives between the two spies in both their present and
past lives, when Henry was a rough-and-tumble field agent and Celia
wielded power behind a desk. It's an understatement to say that nothing
is as it seems, but even readers well-versed in espionage fiction will
be pleasantly surprised by Steinhauer's plot twists and double backs.
(Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
A compelling spy story that takes place at a restaurant table...It delivers
intrigue, suspense, and a heart-stopping finale. In his acknowledgments,
Steinhauer tells us he wrote it in one month. You'll devour it in one
night. (Booklist (starred review))
This genre-bending spy novel takes Hitchcockian suspense to new heights.
Over the course of a meal with flashbacks, the eternal questions of
trust, loyalty, and authentic love are deftly dissected. Readers drawn
to the story of a loving couple trapped in a terrible embrace will be
thrilled to follow Henry and Celia's tortured pas de deux. (Library
Journal (starred review))
