A fitting close to a solid trilogy of Lucifer Box novels. Though I didn't like this one quite as much as the previous two, it's still quite enjoyable in its own right.
I'll be looking forward to more of Mark Gatiss' work. He's got an interesting voice and I feel he's got plenty of stories yet to tell.

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the previous books, but this was still quite entertaining.

Lucifer Box is always a fun read. While not the best of three, still has a lot of hilarious moments and is a great ending to the trilogy. I hope Gatiss writes more from Box's younger years (though I won't hold my breath).

I can't quite put my finger on the reason I didn't love this as much as the other Lucifer Box books. Perhaps it's the quite large time shift between instalments, or just the idea that the series has apparently come to an end. In theory, I like the idea of having this large time shifts, but it does seem to make you want more, especially when Box himself offers up a great number of cryptic asides that beg to have the full story told. The other drawback that is that few characters make it from book to book and that can be disappointing (yes, I am still a little bit in love with Charlie Jackpot).
I still loved this, and I'm desperate for more.

Whizzed through this one in an evening - it's the same mix of cheesy spy action, terrible puns & amorous escapades as in the previous two books in this series. If you enjoyed the earlier Lucifer Box novels I would recommend this final installment in the trilogy. It's a shame there probably won't be any more! Looking forward to see what Gatiss does next though.

An entertaining romp. Lucifer Box is an irredeemable rogue who you can't help but like.
