The atmosphere often only broken by Alec's penchant for a good feed and jolly banter!' ????? - Reader review'It was so good to catch up with Dandy Gilver after a long gap since the last book. This latest tale was fast paced and gripping, with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing right up until the end.
