This has been on my wishlist for a while, and I found this copy yesterday for just 200 nrs. in the large used bookstore whose name I can't remember, located on the left of the main Thamel intersection. Already begun reading it, it seems fun and interesting.

I'd started this shortly after receiving it but got the nudge I needed to finish reading it when it was chosen in the Reverse Tag Game. All in all, an enjoyable, light-hearted read. I love the setting and the premise, though I admit that I did feel very sorry for Israel when his woes continued well past the half-way mark, he reminded me of a character in one of those comedy films that nothing can go right for.

I looked up the author

and saw there are several other books in this series, as well as a second mystery series he's begun now. Certainly I'd be happy to read more by this author. Light, fun book.

Posted this off to Finland today. Safe travels, little book! I posted the book to you, Chania, the same day the one you sent me arrived in the post! What a great coincidence!

Thank you, this book looks lovely! I also loved the stamps in the package, quite exotic to get stamps from Nepal!

Well, yes - at first I thought just like lils74 did, a bit too much silly comedy for me. But after all, it was a nice and easy book and I might read more of the series.

To Sannuli next!

Thank you!!
