![]() ![]() I have to admit I ran out of steam at the point where the petrol pump guy says “we don’t call them cars here mate, we call them autos”. Colin the baddy swings between jolly cockney and evil bastard, leaving this reader a little confused as to whether we are listening to clunky comedy or badly executed crime caper. I’m guessing there was plenty of time for an editor to check these details but obviously didn’t happen. Author obviously had a lovely time researching this in London but the story gets tricky to follow when the place names, geography and linguistic peculiarities of the English are just plain wrong. ![]() Joe Barrett hasn’t quite mastered any of the English accents he chooses to have a go at - so the result is all a bit Dick Van Dyke. then he is off to 1970’s London, which is where it all starts to creak. interesting start and slightly random but entertaining flashback to Neil’s upbringing and baffling love for 18th century English novels. ![]()
