I really enjoyed this entry in the series. It's difficult to keep interest in an ongoing series, but the author has done a good job by introducing Hero Jarvis as a main character. I really enjoy the relationship between Sebastian and Hero and was glad to see more of it here. The actual mystery plot was a bit overcomplicated. Points for making it deal with real geo-political events, but the murders and suspects were so numerous and quick paced that there was no real chance of keeping it all straight or having any sense of what was really going on. Which meant the who-dun-it was unguessable, but mostly due to incomprehensibility. But that's kinda ok, because I'm in love with these characters now, so I'll keep reading. It was a highly enjoyable, quick read.
