A fun and swift read. The very sardonic writer manages to be smarmy about every player while still building likeable characters. You may find yourself laughing out loud. The plot let's you know pretty early on the direction in which events will unfold. It's the how that keeps you turning pages. There is also a love of the English landscape and way of life. I'll go back for more.
