The book wasn’t as exciting as I had anticipated. It was very slow to begin. Good plot but just needed a bit of a punch.

To many different characters thrown into the mix. It was hard to keep up with at times.

Worth a read though

Sadly, I did not have time to read this book before it was archived, however, I still believe it is a worthwhile read!

Thank you #netgalley and @booksgosocial for this e-ARC in return for my honest review.

i really enjoyed reading this book, I enjoyed the mystery novel in the book and enjoyed getting to know the characters.

Taken from the plot that a retired secret agent wants to take revenge, not restricted by the agency's policies or budget, Menahem Misgav wrote The Mossad Job. Protagonist Rotem stumbles upon a former colleague, Meshulam Muller, a Dutch Jew who immigrated to Israel and then recruited into the famous intelligence service. Muller is interviewed on Dutch radio but happens to mix facts and fantasy and put the Mossad in danger.

He invites longtime friends to teach Muller a lesson in a very special way. The narrative focuses so much on the role-play of the sting operation and the preparation, that relatively few pages remain for the actual execution, a weakness in the book. Now, the job is supposed to be completed successfully, although Misgav inserted one unexpected impediment. An easy read, suitable for a beach or comfy chair during the summer holiday. For the inclusion of correct Dutch names and addresses (thanks for the local flavor), the author could better have checked with a local like me.

The Mossad Job, I have read a lot about Mossad, books highlighting the real aspects and fictional tales. The technical accuracy is really commendable, The story of a retired Mossad agent sharing his experience with his grandson is a good blend of story-telling and thrill.
It is a roller coaster ride of emotions throughout. The author covers not only the on-job thrill, but the emotional aspects of being a part of an agent.

This one is a page turner. There were a couple of places where it was easy to see someone didn't speak English as their first language. Tiny little things, I'm only mentioning them because a couple made me laugh. All in all a good, well plotted read.

The story starts with Rotem, a retired Mossad agent, visiting a tomb with his grandson, and from then on Rotem starts to tell him the stories of his life - from how he met his wife, going through the Mossad, then the final operation he organized - which is the center of the plot.

So Rotem is with his wife Alma in a road trip in Europe, when he listens to a radio interview with Meshulam Muller, a former Mossad who had been dismissed still during training, and now dedicated his life to the arts. But what infuriated Rotem the most was that ever since, Muller was defaming Mossad's reputation in every possible way, through every possible channel.

Rotem then decided he would organize a final operation with his former Mossad colleagues to teach Muller a lesson. And this operation is the story of this book.

With all due respect to the author, because it is a great story, I honestly expected more from this book. The plot idea is great, very interesting, and seductive, however, I missed emotion, page-turning, and excitement. It is a good story, well constructed, but completely predictable from the beginning.

The number of characters is already hard to cope with in the beginning, but the many side stories that are told somehow confused me; it was too much information. In the writing part, there are some spellings and also some weird sentences, but it can be understood with no issues. Also, the narrative sometimes changes from 3rd to 1st person, and this also confused me sometimes as I was not sure of what was going on - in other words, the editing part needs a bit of fine-tuning, that is all.

I recommend this book to people who want to have a pleasant read, but a light one. For thriller lovers like me, it may be a bit slow-paced at times.

Book is about retired Mossad agents taking one last job. It was an interesting read and I enjoyed the book.

In the book The Mossad Job, author Menahem Misgav writes about retired Mossad agent Rotem who is enjoying his retirement with his wife when he hears an interview on the radio with a fired and disgraced former agent ripping his former employer. Rotem is mad and decides to do something about it.
This was a good read. I was very interested in the story line but the writing style needs som work. I received a copy of this e-book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a strange book. There is a story, and it is readable, although the POV is changing between first and third person, there are lots of small errors, and there are many unnecessary repetitions. There's also a lot of descriptions far outside of the plot, and the hustle itself has several unnecessary parts. If you want to read the book, be sure to disconnect your brain first.

A fascinating look into the Israeli Mossad the top tier of the Israeli clandestine spy organizations. The author apparently did not serve in the Mossad, but his insights into the organization seem to be founded on some inside information. The novel has an interesting plot, a cast of characters that are depicted as having served with the Mossad and are currently retired, and the villain of the piece who briefly served with the Mossad but was let go by them as being unfit for duty.
Meshulam Muller is a Dutch Jew that emigrated to Israel, joined the Mossad but was found unfit for the group and let go. Since his departure from the spy organization he has been dealing in expensive works of art and at the same time making sure that he continuously works at tarnishing the reputation of his short-term employer. Rotem is an honorably retired member of the Mossad; a proud grandfather and living with the love of his life. While on a trip to Europe with his wife he hears a radio broadcast by Muller the content of which infuriates him. He decides to exact revenge and does so in true Mossad fashion. He assembles a team, draws up an operation plan and paying attention to the details proceeds to set up a scam on Muller. This is not to kill him but to get the man to give them a sum of money approximately equal to the funds he gained via utilizing the attacks on the Mossad. The aim is to get the money, donate it to charity and make Muller aware that he has been scammed.
The operation is described with the various retired Mossad agents playing the parts that approximate what they did while active. The novel is a short one and lends itself quite neatly to starting and finishing it in one comfortable read. It is also a reason to look for Misgav's next book.
