In theWashington Post Book World, Roderick MacLeish calls Eye of the Needle "quite simply the best spy novel to come out of England in years," and Newsweek correspondent Peter Prescott describes the work as "rubbish of the very best sort . . . a triumph of invention over convention." Eye of the Needle, which won the Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America, has since sold more than ten million copies worldwide.
