I really enjoyed this book. I've mentioned here before that
Cook raised the bar so high with Breakheart Hill that I'm
always a little dissapointed by his subsequent books. Still,
he is always worth reading with great characters and
atmosphere.
A minor quibble this time around is that there is a chance
encounter in Peril that is awfully farfetched in a city as
large as NYC, but why nitpick?
It's also worth noting that while Breakheart Hill and The
Chatham School Affair are fairly similar, every book since
then has had Cook trying something new and different, which
makes Cook all the more fun to follow.
