When Buddhist monk Wayan Bagus loses the island he's been living on, he turns to the eccentric Emerson Knight for help. Knight then enlists his cousin Vernon and assistant Riley Moon to help solve the mystery. In the process, they also uncover a conspiracy so secret, some would do anything to keep it under wraps. Can they solve this seemingly impossible case?
This is a funny and entertaining novel that almost feels like it could be the plot for an action-adventure movie at some points. The characters are hilarious!
However, the plot and many of the characters were somewhat realistic and unbelievable. It did make the book entertaining, but at the same time, it took me out of the immersion of the book. A mystery or an adventure doesn't have to be totally believable for it to be enjoyable for me, but it was a bit too ridiculous for my tastes.
If you're looking for a realistic mystery, this book isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a fun, Fast and the Furious kind of book, this might be up your alley.
You don't need to have read the first book in the series to enjoy this book. You should be aware that there is some violence in this book, but I didn't find it to be too graphic or explicit.
