Joe, Roxy and crew are back for another thrilling adventure.
This time around the gang are contained to good old Blighty. That meant my geography could cope - I knew where they were, what was nearby and best of all - didn't have to look up how to pronounce place names! Action, history, legendary secretive organisations and artifact hunting all mingle together into an absorbing action thriller. I read this in one fell swoop and could not put it down.
I loved they way that the team just works on the fly - doesn't matter what you throw at them, they just roll with it. I've always been interested in religion from an interested outsider perspective and add in history and I'm a goner!
Their simple drop off job just grew arms and legs and before they know it they're fighting off mercenaries left and right and the archvillain is a complete nutbag! I was a wee bit disappointed the baddie was Scottish but we do lend ourselves well to being the big bad lol!
I did find it ended just a bit suddenly and I could have done with a bit more... fleshing out. I kinda went from 100mph to 0mph in 0 seconds.
I'm only a little sorry that Quest Investigations isn't real - I'd happily apply for a job there tomorrow. They've got to need an administrator, right?
