I have had this book sitting around for a while and decided to try and clear out a few hardbacks that are clogging up my bookshelves - I was very pleased I did when I picked this one up. Very enjoyable, have aleady preordered the next one.

A miss for me with a lead character I just couldn't care about. Disappointing as I enjoyed other series by this author.
