I don’t think the title fits.

65. A Touch of Madness – Lavinia Harris

When I saw this title and a happy couple in a public phone booth on the cover, I did not expect a tale of computer game espionage that escalated to murder, a bombing, side swiping someone in a Ferrari, and gambling. I really expected it to be psychological, maybe a couple of kids who weren’t allowed to be together, regardless of their computer skills. Apparently this is an entry in a series about Joshua and Sidney and their own supercomputer named Samantha, in 1985, solving a computer espionage situation becuase as a couple that’s what they do. Solve crimes using their supercomputer, which is sort of portable, in several boxes.

Honestly, this was a very wacky story. Wacky. It moved a tad too quickly between giant crime to giant crime and the adults were way too slow and yet too fast to believe Josh and Sidney and also the clothing was very acutely described. I really wasn’t expecting this kind of madness from that cover and I didn’t find the highjinks that ensued particularly enjoyable.

 

Horace, tired of the madness and the ensuing of highjinks.

 

Horace deals with Prince of Darkness-level computer madness.
