Vey funny book, easy read. For some reason I pictured the main carater as "Moss" from the IT crowd - I guess that says it all (altho the description did not correspond at all I must say). So recommended !

Last instalment in the series. As twisty as the others - I think the series got its twistbooster around #5 or so, and the 4-5 last one definitely need to be read one after another. Of course it is possible not to, but you'd miss some details. All in all a very good series, if you like murder/thriller/detective series it is definitely recommended.

This is the follow-up to "the ennemy inside" so having reading it is not really a pre-requisite but strongly recommended. Other than that, Scott must have taken a master course in plot-twist. Again !!! definitely recommended
