A review by planetarypan
Eight Skilled Gentleman by Barry Hughart

3.0

I did not find this book as interesting as the first two. Maybe I read it too soon after the last one, but the twists and turns annoyed me. I felt like the story dragged more than the others as well. I still love the two main characters, but I can see why the author stopped writing the stories (I read somewhere that he felt he was getting repetitive, and I agree). Too bad Hughart didn't seem to publish anything else.
