Accidentally borrowed this from the digital library (when trying to borrow a different book in the series) and yeah it was the usual St Marys adventure, though after reading Second Chance it's confusing how it relates given the ending of Second Chance.

But as a palate cleanser between the books, it's nice enough.

I really do hope that the next book is a little bit more urban and a little less fantasy. While I enjoy the fantasy parts of the series, I think this one almost went too far.

I'm mostly worried about further books needing to up the ante.

The Chronicles of St Mary's seem to always be an easy read and this one is no exception.

And this one goes through the normal romp in the first part (that ends in a fairly big change to a relationship), a perilous foe in the second and then throws in a curve ball for the ending.

And I kind of almost wish that it setup the curve ball in this book and left the curve ball itself for a later book.

But curious to see where it goes.

Look it was fine. It wasn't laugh out loud funny, but there were some good chuckles.

Maybe Tom Holt just isn't quite right for me.

I probably should see the film huh?

This was a decent read given it's a novelization of a film and for the most part I think it works OK. It's a fairly quick and undemanding read and has some nice moments.

I'm sure the film is better though!
