Customer Reviews

France and Zurich this time.

In this book we see Lovejoy visiting France and Zurich as he gets involved with some really bad people who are part of a much larger syndicate that doesn't appear to want to stop at anything to get their wishes. Nobody can describe greed like Gash, and it's here in this book, front and centre. We still have the same loveable scoundral, Lovejoy with his very "elastic" morals and sexist attitude, but he does stop at murder, and he doesn't stand for human injustices. This is what makes his such a likeable, if shady, hero. This book is particularly fast-paced, and the stakes are high as Lovejoy bumbles his way to finding and punishing these villains. I cannot stress enough how entertaining this whole series is. And we learn so much about history and antiques while enjoying ourself with the stories.
