Am reading this book now. Looks like it's as well written as his other books that I have read.

Back to one of Perry's best char.
A very nice book with the little details that make his writing quite believable. Perry has been doing this since the Butcher's Boy and is still very good.

The best ever!
An outstanding story, and it's so great to have a Jane Whitefield adventure again after a long wait. This book lives up to the other titles, and more. Characters, plot, suspense is first-rate and keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's a book you don't want to put down, but can't wait to see what happens next. 5 stars and HIGHLY recommended.
