Yes, the epistolary format does not always work, but on the whole the tale is charming, the characters believable, the pace and length allows for easy reading and i would strongly recommend it (although for a true letter long distance affair you cannot better 84 Charring Cross Rd

This more than other series I've encountered needs a rapid reading in succession as there is no hand holding to the first book (read over a year ago to refresh your memory. Otherwise it furthers the universe but falls into the pitfals of most “books #2 in a trilogy”... I Have #3 lined up

Certainly the better of the so far series. Not quite Val McDermid yet but her writing is becoming quite assured for the genre. Really enjoyed this one.

As a debut novel this is a very assured work. A fascinating period (1919 in India) with a interesting protagonist and side characters I found myself getting through this very quickly. Will definitely read the other ones.

The first of a very interesting trilogy. Each book is slightly different in its approach, with different protagonist - Arachnid in this one. It did have a and ending that I was not expecting. Recommended to who likes Banks (he lacks the humour that Banks has however)

Ok, liked it. Perfect audiobook for a long drive. The characters grow on you, as does the body count in a Midsomer kind of way.

Jackson Lamb's delicate management style is yet again front and center into a wonderful series which is a perfect balance of humor, superb writing and craft.
