A stinker. Hercule Poirot against criminal masterminds out to destabilise and take over the world. A secret base, as master of disguise, and Poirot mis-reading situations and people and getting things wrong.
Next I read a freebie:
Septimus Heap: Magyk by Angie Sage
I was a little harsh in my initial assessment of Magyk, as the tyography is off-putting. It insists on setting all the
Magyk words used like
Darkeness in bold. Although I did finish it, I'm not tempted to get any of the later books.
So, now I'm onto
In the Ocean of Night which I bought way back in December 2008 from Fictionwise. It's the first in a series and, for once, I have the whole series already.
