A review by zzzrevel
The Awkward Squad by Sophie Hénaff

3.0

From the blurb inside the cover I was hoping for
some kind of story similar to William Marshall's
Yellowthread Street series or Mick Herron's
Slow Horses series. That was not to be but
it did have some remnants of a misfit group
of people trying to do noble so I give it three
stars.
I loved the short and sweet bios of the cast of
characters, and the mystery plot showed some
amount of cleverness, but overall I thought
the writing just laid a bit flat. And more
should have been done with character
development.
A mildly entertaining start to a series and
I would be curious to see if it improves in
Book #2.
