Very Important Corpses
By Simon R. Green
Ishmael travels to be a security agent for some high profile business people. One of his fellow agents was killed there and he is sent there to find who did it while he is there. It's a great mystery with weird characters, some creepy science fiction/horror, twists, and Penny is there too! Good story!

The elements that were enjoyable and recommended the series in the early books are nearly absent in these latest books. There are (in print) at least five novels beyond Murder in the Dark, but at this point, I really cannot see myself reading them. This is sad to say, because for about six Decembers this series has been a relatively easy-reading end of the year during the fireworks and the weather and whatever else.

So, lazy effort, again, by this author. I am glad I did not stop reading the series after the last book – this one was worth a read, more or less. However, I think I am done with this series now. It has lost all of the good writing that enticed me in the beginning.… (more)

This was a great bounce back book in this series. I was not really happy with the direction the series was going. I was really worried about the next book but this book was very good.
