Absolutely one of my favorite series. I love the way Ponti writes these adventurous mysteries because it certainly keeps me turning the pages!
In this story, we get to know Paris a bit more and see how he uses his wit and passion for words to help out his fellow spies.
Hoping we have at least 2 more in this series since there are 2 more characters who haven't had their story told. And I think there should definitely be one for Mother. Keep them coming, Mr. Ponti!
