By the time I realised what it was, I was enjoying the ride and kept enjoying it through to the excellent conclusion.

I finished The Boy on the Bridge a couple of days ago. It was very good. I'd have to say that I think the first book is better - or maybe it was just the surprise of it - but this second story in the same setting was also well done, with another set of great characters. This book, too, wraps up very neatly.
