The Divinity Circle is the third book in Paul Casella's action and adventure series Featuring plumber Eddie Hill.
Following high profile investigations in the UK involving both the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London, Eddie and his wife Lucy relocate to the United States where Eddie will use his investigative skills in the business world.
Eddies knack for finding trouble pitches him into the plotting of a secret society and puts his life in danger along with wife Lucy and his new assistant Leah.
Just like the earlier books in the series, Mr Casella blends a modern fictional story with a lesser known true historical tale that simultaneously entertains and educates the reader.
This one takes a bit of a departure from the first two novels as it moves Eddie from the comfort of his home in the South of England to the alien world of corporate America. This obviously opens up the series to new readers but, for me, it also loses a tiny bit of it's English charm.
Eddie and his assistant Leah make an excellent duo as they travel about visiting parts of the corporation they work for whilst at the same time taking time out to investigate Leah's history.
The plot can be overly complex in parts with the number of main players on the secret society side. The discussions on future technology add little to the story and seem to slow down the narrative unnecessarily.
I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for intrigue and adventure. people interested in secret societies, or conspiracy.
Having had his American adventure, I'd like to see Eddie head back to blighty with his wife and his best mate Jamie but I feel that the author has more ambitious plans for our intrepid plumber
Overall I found this to be an enjoyable read, I love the characters and have no trouble rooting for Eddie & Co. A tighter edit on the internal doings of the secret society wouldn't be a bad thing.
