[Jake Duncan D · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is just interesting like the first book I read from this author. It about relationship between father and son. The son is a spoilt boy just as you will expect from an only son. He cries like a girl mostime which make me laugh out loud. The boy's dad Norman, hated his child acting like a girl. He was not allow to cry and his dad just want him to be macho which is so impossible when a teenage boy is face with problem he cannot solve. Some scenes are so funny, where the boy and his two silly friends make up series of scenarios why the man killed himself on the bridge.

Here a funny quote "The bicycle was left right there in silent hope of theft, but truthfully no self-respecting thief would want to acquire such an antique torture device."
Really!! there are self-respecting thieves? Where? US or in UK?

I simple appreciate the moral of the story. It an interesting plot, when you carefully reflect about it. Some unanswered puzzles such as, what was exactly in the mysterious black briefcase? Maybe, the author should have elaborated more on this. There are other few bits that could have been expanded.
