Andy McDermott back to his best! A pared back story with all the action you could possibly want without the convoluted and over involved storyline that has been present in the last few books. I really enjoyed this one

One of his best!!
Most entertaining from beginning to end; all the way through! I eagerly await the next episode. Here's hoping it won't be too long.

After a few lacklustre books in the Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase series, I wasn’t expecting The Shroud of Hades to stand out. But I’m glad to say it really surprised me. This one reminded me why I enjoyed the series in the first place. It’s a return to form: fast-paced, outrageous in all the right ways, and just plain entertaining.
What made this one so good was the energy. It felt like McDermott had fun writing it. Eddie was his usual sarcastic self, Nina did what she does best (dive headfirst into danger and being an utter pain in the neck), and the plot just kept ticking with barely a moment to breathe. Begrudgingly, I give it five stars, as not even Nina's horrible personality could ruin it for me. Mmm... make that 4.5 stars.
Honestly, it’s one of the better ones in the series.

Nina Wilde is back. Which can only mean two things - so is her husband Eddie and a madcap globe spanning adventure involving a mystical treasure is fast approaching.
This is typical Wilde and Chase affair, sure there’s nothing new or groundbreaking in this one but it’s a riotous affair full of intelligent action and fast-paced adventure. It’s balls to the wall throughout, blink and you’ll have missed some frenetic fight or chase. But it’s what sets this series apart from others and the historical overlays continually elevate the story.
This was a blast, I was only saddened there wasn’t more to it, but as it is I’ll wait for Nina and Eddie to return once more.

Very disappointing to me.
I have read every book in the series for the last 20 years and found this one not up to what I expect. The first half of the book is just running from people trying to kill Nina because of a computer program promising two billion dollars to whoever can.
It's not until the second half that the hunt for the shroud begins and ,to me, starts to read like a Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase adventure and not like an amateur crime novel.
I have enjoyed all of the books in this series until this one. I have a!ways looked forward to the next book coming out, but not any longer.

Another cracking Wilde and Chase novel by Andy McDermott. This one adds a clever twist to the normal format that is quite inspired.
Number 18 is just as much a rollicking good piece of fun as the first novel.

I struggled with the start of the book, with a carry on of The Knights of Atlantis and the weirdo trillionaire who set up UZZ social media. It took a while to get into, but picked up pace, to a satisfying ending.

Another thrilling ride, full of everything we expect in a Wilde and Chase adventure well worth the wait

It was quite exciting! Hard to get in to, struggled with the first half, but endured and was happily glad I did. Definitely looking forward to the next book.
