Great writing, perfect for spy/mystery novel readers

This is my first time reading le Carre. I'm not not much of a mystery novel reader, but I love all of Jean-Patrick Manchette's books. After this encounter with le Carre, I learned that what I like about Manchette is his insistence on writing books about the police that are critical of the police. They mystery piece of it - figuring out the puzzle - is not my thing. But if that is your thing, le Carre is (obviously) for you.
