A short okay fantasy mystery to pass the time with, prefer the Garret Files by Glen Cook ( )

My gods this was the longest game of clue that I've ever read about, and

it kept me entertained. I liked the main characters. Even though much of the book takes place in one house, Green made the settings seem so much larger.

On a more humorous factor I was reminded of this scene from Scary Movie 2, while reading.

I really look forward to reading more adventures with Hawk and Fisher outside. ( )

Perfectly predictable, with eye-crossingly stupid plot points. I'm reading another by this author, Drinking Midnight Wine, which seems, thus far, to be more tightly written. Maybe Hawk & Fisher is an anomaly. ( )
