Another good old timey ‘Twain’ mystery

Another good story and the stories are getting more twisty turny. Having language barrier as a hard framework within which to work it’s pretty good. Wentworth should take jiu jitsu though if he’s going to keep getting into fights. Performance by the reader also continues to be excellent.

Not as good as the first 4

I really enjoyed the first four books of this series but found this one to be really slow going. I lost interest at several points. The plot devices seemed transparent, and the main character started to grate on me. Such a shame, because I found the previous books to be original and fun.
