I’ve been ploughing through the Modesty Blaise books and enjoying them all to some extent. Some of them are incredible the whole way through, some of them are a bit bumpier. This one is a little more painfully dated, and I don’t love Giles Pennyfeather all that much, but it was still an enjoyable read.

I've been enjoying this series quite a bit. I've reached the point where I hadn't read any of the books past number four. (Still haven't gotten number two yet.) I'll have finished the series before the end of the year, and looking forward to reading some of the "graphic novel" books.
As always, the adventure is full of improbable but not impossible events as Willie and Modesty take on a new set of bad guys. All of the books, but this one especially, support the Chekov axiom that a gun shown in the second act must be fired in the third act. OK, it's quarter staffs this time, but the axiom holds.
