Currently reading a pile of early George Gently
novels by Alan Hunter. Will report back when I
have finished them!
For a short break,I read 'Jeeves and the Wedding
Bells' by Sebastian Faulks. I had read his 'Devil May
Care' which was his James Bond novel,and was not
particularly taken with it.
This one is an affectionate nod to PG Wodehouse
and the inimatable Jeeves and Wooster series. Not
badly done, an engaging enough read,BUT...certainly
lacking 'whatever it was' that made the original books
special.If,like me,you loved the Wodehouse books,then
by all means give this one a go.Not great,whilst being
not actually bad either.A sort of taster for the real thing,
as he puts it in his introduction to the story.
