A great little story to put me on while we eagerly await the publication of The Botanist. A gripping short adventure for Tilly and Poe who never disappoint. Really enjoyed the ending too!

A novella of approximately 100 pages around the Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw team. I love the full novels but was not very impressed with the previous short stories and extremely disappointed with this. The quirky relationship between the two main characters is the icing on the cake of the longer novels, but seems to be presented as the cake itself here. The plot line, too, is a little absurd. The twosome prove that Tilly could easily wipe out the whole of organized crime unless they do something, and that deal seems totally ridiculous. Sad! I recommend waiting for the next full length novel.
