littleretrorocker6 's review for:

Skeleton Key by Anthony Horowitz
3.0

the plot

whilst good feels more like a step backwards for the series because it is very slow in getting alex on his mission.

I liked that a large portion of the book took place in england whilst a huge sporting event happened, (read the book to see what one). I also like that alex got him self a love interest, although to me she seems to perfect for him.
I'm hoping there is a dark secret linked with her and one of Alex's future missions.
I have not read the full series before so future books are all new to me but one thing remains constant Alex's life never runs smoothy.

there was a couple of things i didn't like;
how MI6 got alex to go in the mission i found it cheap and unoriginal
the two companions he was put with i found them extremely annoying they had no character progression
also while the story is as action packed and visual as ever the length of the chapters for me are to long

this is still a must read if you want to read the hole series
