Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Jordan Travistock is a real British gentleman and aristocrat. And he is there for his friends when they need his help. So in the end he agrees, when Veronica Cairncross pleads "A small burglary. That's all I'm asking for." in order to help her out of some trouble. However, during this small and relatively harmeless burglary, Jordan stumbles upon another burglar at the same site. And this is when his own trouble starts.
At the beginning of the book, there are several odds and ends which, at first, seem to be completely self contained and not interwined with each other; especially if you also read the prologue, which you should do. But at the latest from the middle of the second chapter, some connections between the different stories become obvious. The whole story is very well constructed, every then and when the reader, together with the main figures, learns something new about how the events and characters are connected. It definietely is not one of those stories where you know all about the plot after reading the first twenty pages.
