Fast paced? Yes
Entertaining? Yes
A page turner? Yes 

I LOVE the title, I loved the literally explosive opening chapter.

BUT I found the characters annoying (particularly Richard!), down right silly in places & overall I wish it had been better! 

Especially because Barclay is one of my faves, he is usually a sure fire winner for me.

Would I recommend it? Not this time!
