Three and a half stars.
To say that this story is far-fetched would be an understatement. That doesn't mean to say it wasn't enjoyable, because it was.
Gees ( His initials are G.G.G.G.) is a fairly typical impoverished aristocrat, a former police officer, setting up as a private investigator. Quite likeable although the "witty banter" sometimes get tiresome. The plot involves Communist plotters, murder and mayhem etc. etc.
The blurb says he is Jack Mann's "legendary detective" but I had never heard of him, nor do I know anyone else that had.
This is the first in the series and I have just bought the next one to see how he evolves.
Not bad at all.
Poor formatting in the Kindle edition, especially in dialogue areas.
