I was fortunate to receive a copy of this ARC from Pigeonhole.

This is the 3rd in the Ash Henderson series. I hadn't read the first two, and this was my first book by the author. There were quite a few references I didn't get, but fortunately other readers on Pigeonhole were able to fill in the gaps!

There is a LOT of violence, but this is somewhat offset by the use of humour. Ash has a very dry sense of humour and his observations are hilarious!

I am going to go back and read the first two books to fill in some of the gaps and we will see if there is another Ash Henderson book to come.
