Review:
Another very entertaining instalment
I have enjoyed this series and this, the third, is another very
entertaining instalment.
The plot is
cheerfully bonkers. Frankly, I don’t know how to begin to explain
it but it involves mysterious and violent monks, fractal geometry, a
pair of alpacas, some of the usual enjoyably silly but rather
exciting episodes of Dan and Dot being in mortal danger (usually
having put themselves there) and so on. It’s great fun and very
well written and structured with the rather hapless Dan narrating
while the women do the brainwork. Dot’s business partner Ali is on
fine, scathing and abusive form (I laughed out loud more than once at
her comments) and all in all it’s a terrific, cheering read
especially in such troubled times.
These books perhaps
aren’t utter comic masterpieces but they are very amusing and just
immense fun to read. Warmly recommended.
(My thanks to
