McCarry's back on track but series has run its course
2007
Overview
It is also with this book that we tire of [CHARLES McCARRY]'s extended obsession with another of his creations, [Paul Christopher]'s mother, Lori. This German aristocrat, who dominated the last outing, is back, once again a powerful, remote figure. The problem is that anyone who read \"Old Boys\" knows what happened to her, so the thrill is gone. More than a few of them, I'm sure, wonder why the Christopher saga didn't end there. \"Christopher's Ghosts\" begins in Berlin on the eve of World War II and ends in the late '50s at sea off the German coast. It is 1939, and Lori is married to Hubbard Christopher, a huge, toothy product of an Episcopal school in New Hampshire - read St. Paul's School - then Yale and Skull and Bones. He later becomes the OSS chief of station in Berlin, only to be murdered there. (We never learn how she and Hubbard, two cosmically different people from different cultures, hooked up or much about their relationship. There's a wonderful story to be told about them that has nothing to do with espionage or the kid.)
