Been a while since I've read some John le Carre, so I reintroduced a few to my little library: "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "The Perfect Spy".... I wonder what they're about

I've read the first two before, but it's been long enough that I'll still be kept in suspense. Started on "The Spy..." last night, and I've been reminded about what I really appreciate in le Carre's writing--he keeps physical descriptions neat and concise; gives you the idea, but doesn't waste time counting the cracks on the sidewalk, the leaves on the tree, the clouds in the sky. Always appreciated here!
