This was an excellent read. A good thick book that never bored and constantly surprised with the twists and turns in the plot. There is witty humour and some amusing aside comments that make you feel as if you can see what happens through the eyes of the author. I will most definitely read the rest of the series. This is mostly a clean book but there are some adult scenes.
