A good read

Interested in cars, this a series of books is for you, twists and turns. The cars the star and looking them up adds more flavour!

Too many characters

So many characters and relationships to sort out it distracted from the story line.
I never did fully understand any of the endings. Book seven was the worst. I wonder if the author was drunk writing that one.
I did order book 8 and have almost finished it. I would not order a book 9 if there were one. I bought them for the cars, book nine really disappointed. If I hadn’t looked up each car mentioned, and then read each history, I’d have quite in the first half. I still haven’t figured out the reason for the plot.
