"He sat on the carpet and smoked a cigarette. He had smelt a lot of rotten money, and it had made him sick. He had found and lost a gun, which might or might not have shot somebody in the head. And his mouth tasted of blood and of a woman who wasn’t his. It had been a hell of a day."Clarissa Daniels has a missing flash drive and too little money to pay a blackmailer.

This story is so overly descriptive it got boring. The author spent eight screens of travelogue descriptions for the main character to get from one location to his destination. I found myself skimming through paragraphs that did nothing but dilute the story until it turned from stew into broth.

It is a great read. This is the third St. Cloud book I have read. As the other reviewer noted, some of the descriptions are a little tiresome, but overall, it is a very good book.

Wow! What a story! Nothing pretty or funny here, just liars and murderers and cheats, and a picture of London and her people that is not very nice. It's a great story, especially when it's dialog, but when it goes into long drawn out descriptions of St. Cloud going between point a b or c it gets a little tiresome, and the main character does alot of driving/walking between point a,b and c. Otherwise it's a great read, and I'm looking forward to the next installation of St. Clouds adventures. Thanks for the free book!
