I have been a fan of Mr Masterton for many, many years and I remember reading the first Manitou novel and absolutely loving it ... alas, it appears this is the 6th outing and although I haven't read the intervening 5 books, get the feeling that it's becoming a little tired as this one wasn't the read I was hoping for.

The main two characters - Harry and Anna - are interesting and well developed, the story is ok but it just didn't do it for me. I found it tedious and didn't particularly flow. I felt things happened in the book that just weren't explained very well and maybe that's my fault for not having read all of the previous books but there wasn't really much backstory to give you even a hint.

I am really quite sad that I didn't enjoy this outing but recognise that many have so it might just be me! Despite this, I am and will remain a Graham Masterton fan and this certainly won't put me off reading more of his in the future.

Many thanks to Severn House Publishers and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.
