As all you Latin scholars would know, vindicta means revenge, and that’s what this book is about. It’s about broken promises, retaliation, even the need to get what you or your loved ones deserve. Sometimes, such things can be tales told and handed down through the generations. At others, it can be…the truth.
No one is safe when revenge has been pledged. Everyone must watch their back in Vindicta, especially Maxwell Muggs and those he loves.
When I started reading this series, Maxwell Muggs was a tough investigative reporter. Through DNA testing, he found that his father was a true English noble, Lord Muggs. Even though the stories in this series have changed from the nitty gritty life of a news reporter to a castle in England, every plot is a contemporary, believable thriller that has you sitting on the edge of your seat. Snowden has a flair for the unexpected. He makes you love his characters and then makes you hold your breath wondering if they will all be ok.
Vindicta can be read as a stand-alone. However, I really think you’ll enjoy it more if you read the three Maxwell Muggs books in order. Firebug, Anointed, and this one, Vindicta, are all great reads. I think you’ll enjoy the story of how plain old Maxwell Muggs becomes Lord Muggs and rights so many wrongs along the way.
However you choose to read Snowden’s books, I think you’ll be happy with any of them. I’ve read many, and even when his style changes, his excellent skill as a writer never does.

I thought that this was a disappointing read. The first part of the book used frequent extracts from the previous books as flashbacks, and that combined with what seemed to be quite a slow pace, made the story feel quite tedious. Overall, I thought the story quite maudlin.
