Journal Entry 1 by wingPlum-crazywing from Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, November 15, 2017
It's Christmas in Aberystwyth and a man wearing a red-and-white robe is found brutally murdered in a Chinatown alley. A single word is scrawled in his blood on the pavement: 'Hoffmann'. But who is Hoffmann? This time, Aberystwyth's celebrated crime-fighter, Louie Knight, finds himself caught up in a brilliant pastiche of a cold-war spy thriller. From Patagonia to Aberystwyth, Louie trails a legendary stolen document said to contain an astonishing revelation about the ultimate fate of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but he's not the only one who wants it. A bewildering array of silver-haired spies has descended on Aberystwyth, all lured out of retirement by one tantalising rumour: Hoffmann has come in from the Cold. Louie Knight, who still hasn't wrapped up his presents, just wishes he could have waited until after the holiday.


I've read a couple of this series & had mixed opinions about them! Wonder what I'll make of this....

Journal Entry 2 by wingPlum-crazywing at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Monday, April 16, 2018
Edgar Allan Poe meets "Phoenix Nights" says the cover blurb.
I say "delightfully bonkers" :o)

This is the third book I've read in this series & its possibly my favourite. The usual mix of the weird, wonderful & rather wacky. I particularly loved the home economics curriculum at the Sunday School; weaving fabrics from cobwebs, making soap from grit, anthracite perfume, penny hoarding, a hundred uses for stale bread, fifty simple one-cauldron dishes & making shoes out of slate. Good fun but just don't ask me to explain what the hell went on....

Thanks for your lovely journal entry Katie & for keeping the book travelling BUT would advise against leaving it at the airport due to the risk of causing a security alert!
Hope the school children have fun releasing at the festival 😊

I was out with 3 best friends from school and my friend James stumbled across your book at Dashwood Square next to the fish and chip shop! He looked at us and said “I just found a “free book”” and we all looked at him dumbfounded. He picked up the book to show us to which he said to me “Katie, mate, you read, you take it!”.
I took your book home with me and had it in my room when last night my mother came in looking for kids toys as she works in a primary school. She asked about the book and I relayed the story. She found this fascinating and because we live near Scotland’s national book town, Wigtown, we have an annual book festival. She is going to try and get the children from her school to bring in their own books to set free around Wigtown during the book festival when all the tourists arrive from not just around Scotland but around the world.
And as for your book? Well a family friend is going on holiday to Cape Verde and said she could either leave the book in Manchester Airport or in Cape Verde when she gets there! You will have to track it and see...
