I loved this book. While I found the Dante club interesting, its pace was off for me. No such critique this time. The characters, the pacing and the mystery was fantastic. I heartily recommend this book.

Lovecraftian horror meets Ian Fleming with a touch of Bob thrown in to real shake not stir things up. Once again, Mr. Stross hits a home run. For me this is an amazing guilty pleasure of a read. I recommend the entire series to everyone.

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
