I was looking forward to this book, after reading C.S. Quinn's debut 'The Bastille Spy' featuring English Spy Attica Morgan.
These are great adventure thrillers, and Morgan is currently lying low in Paris but quickly becomes caught up in catching a murderer. These books are just fun, great witty dialogue, old style swashbuckling adventures reminiscent of Errol Flynn with a dash of Bond's Q.
The writing is immersive and takes you back in time, and I really enjoyed the settings. The plot is complex enough to be fulfilling and I enjoyed the development of the story and the small chapter structure. You also get the dastardly villian you need to complete the adventure.
What really makes these books' fun is the relationship between Morgan and her pirate friend Jemmy, and the challenges they face defeating the bad guys.
I enjoyed it, do have a read for some adventurous escapism.
