Shirley S, Reviewer
Vaseem Khan has a licence to thrill in this new James Bond-inspired mystery series.
Major Boothroyd (Q) has left British Intelligence and is living in Wickstone-on-Water. He turns sleuth to investigate the death of his childhood friend Peter Napier, a quantum computer scientist. Was his death an accident or murder? Q hopes that the coded message left by Peter will hold the answer.
You don't have to be a James Bond fan to enjoy this pacy thriller. It will appeal to readers who like a different take on the classic whodunnit. with believable characters and writing full of wit and humour.
Khan is on top form here. I look forward to reading more in this series.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
