Saints preserve us
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is part one of a three novel sequence (House of shards, rock of ages) that, taken together, amuse and satisfy. There is homage to "The Saint", there is humor, clever dialogue, and, as in all REALLY good humorous writing, some cogent points made about humanity.

The first thing that strikes you when starting this book is the pace at wich WJW leads you through his witty plot, not leaving your mind at rest untill you have finished the book... then leaving you with a craving for more. And a sequel of this book would be like "la crême de la crême"
