Mr Olsen has excelled himself in this book, the narrator complimented with perfection as he negotiated many different genders and dialects, I am genuinely miffed that I have come to the end,as for Art Shawcross, he is where he needs to be.

A Lot of Book

I found this book difficult to get into, but that was just because we were getting such a detailed background of the story.
In fact once it got started it was totally gripping, very interesting, and very enjoyable. I will probably try another from this author.

Quite slow to start
