5.0

I went into this completely blind because I'd forgotten the blurb by the time I got around to reading it. Thought it would be something like The Intoxicating Mr Lavelle by Neil Blackmore with the "on tour" theme and it was but just much better. I wasn't expecting the mystery element so it was happy happenstance. 

Overall this is not deep reading by any means and there is some questionable language that wasn't really necessary, but it was a fast-paced, fun, entertaining spot of historical fiction. Such an adventure following Monty's trio around Europe as they constantly get in and out of trouble. Looking forward to continuing with the series.

For being almost 450 pages, it really felt like a light summer read. Characters you almost love to hate while still rooting for their development, the universal hatred of being chaperoned, and the slowest slow burn to ever burn because these idiots can't communicate. Can't wait to get my hands on the sequels.
