Liked It “A good continuation of the Joe Sandilands series. I wonder if Joe enjoyed George's situation as much as I did. He always seemed so in control. I never doubted Joe's ability to get him out of the situation; did regret some of the other deaths.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “I enjoyed the first few books in this series (the ones set in India), but recently every time I start reading one, I wonder why. This book is set in Paris, 1927 and the dialog is that "smart set" 1920s English you either find charming or annoying.

“It's a fair story set in Paris - not up to her normal standard. The previous ones were all 5 star, I made it through, but it was tough going near the end. I just never got to the point where I cared about the characters ... even Joe was beginning to bore me.”

“Better than The Bee's Kiss, not as good as Tug of War. So sad...this isn't nearly as engaging as "Tug of War" or the Laetitia Talbot books (which are completely different from each other).

I had given up on the Joe Sandilands books after "The Bee's Kiss" because that book disappointed me, but while waiting for the next Charles Todd and Jacqueline Winspear installments, I went back and read "Tomb of Zeus", "Bright Hair About the Bone" and "Tug of War" and rediscovered Barbara Cleverly. I hope a new book comes out in 2009 that is as entertaining. Some fo the characters from "Tug of War" reappear here.”“I enjoyed the first few books in this series (the ones set in India), but recently every time I start reading one, I wonder why. This book is set in Paris, 1927 and the dialog is that "smart set" 1920s English you either find charming or annoying. The mystery itself would be fine, if only the detectives hadn't rescued Charles Lindbergh or had Georges Simenon to help them out. Both had me rolling my eyes.”

“A Scotland Yard Detective investigates a murder in Paris that has been laid at the feet of an old friend. Interesting concept and very well-reviewed, but in the end I found it overly clever, and chock full of encounters with real people: Josephine Baker, Charles LIndbergh, etc.”

“Another stunning, exciting episode in Joe Sandilands' chequered career-- this one in Paris, as he follows the twisting clues in a case that involves his former 'boss', Sir George, an old adversary and a bit of new romance. Great blooming fun! ”
