I've enjoyed this series, reading about Trent and Reed - especially Trent's antics!
This one is probably a 3.5* read for me, I really enjoyed the first half but once Trent was out of gaol, I did get a bit annoyed by the miscommunications, missed contacts that set them off in all different directions.
Trent was much calmer in this novel - obviously Quantico training did pay off! Though he still has his TSTL moments. I enjoyed the who, what, why again.

In this episode Trent agrees to help out Leah, his partner in an art gallery, by going to Japan to assess two collections that might be coming up for sale. He takes Beth with him to act as an interpreter and to help him with the etiquette of conducting business in Japan. But as usual trouble follows Trent and he is framed with the murder of one of the collectors and thrown in jail. Fortunately Reed spots the item on CNN, recognizes Trent and quickly flies to Japan to help. But who framed Trent and why?
This story not gives us a great visual picture but also a fabulous insight into Japanese culture. This series is very much James Bond-like, a light-hearted mystery with a bit of suspense and great entertainment.
