The Spy Who Haunted Me, by Simon R. Green
4.0
Plot summary: Alexander King, The Independent Agent, is on his deathbed, and is looking for a successor to take over the name and his secrets. A group of six of the world's best are in the running for the title, and King wants them to solve five of the world's great mysteries. They must work together, but also watch their backs. Because at the end of the day, only one can win.
Thoughts: I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the previous Eddie Drood book. It was a lot more like the first book in the series - Eddie out on his own without support from the family or Molly. Green again combines the worlds of his series, with the addition of Walker, from the Nightside books. The mysteries investigated are that typical Green combination of entertaining and gruesome, and the new supporting characters are great.
Full of twists and turns and the unexpected, this was a lot of fun, and I'll definitely keep reading the series.
