Customer Reviews

A stylish and witty adventure story.

A delightfully written book of adventure, with a laid-back hero, great characters and witty observations on the English class system and customs. The witty comments in this book are reminiscent of the early Gavin Lyalls. Entertaining reading which leaves the reader guessing as to how it can all come together and make sense. But come together it does, with a dramatic ending where our hero makes a moral decision that I for one would have made differently. "You got to watch that money stuff, ..... Too much of it and it can get to change your personality, you know - like drink".
