A completely charming tale. Or was it a diabolical revenge fantasy?

I always get those two mixed up.

Either way, I really enjoyed getting a full run-up on just who and what Leon is and what conspires with his completely twisted relationship with Max, eventually leading up to said completely charming diabolical revenge fantasy tale.

Hello, father in law!

I will never look at milk in quite the same way again.

I really enjoy these short stories. :) ( )

Very satisfying

As many twists as one expects in a tale of St. Marys, and a lovely revisit of past adventures. It's nice when the good guys win. ( )

Don't mess with St Mary's. An attack on Max is resolved with exquisite teamwork and deniable aplomb. Another lively short story in this always delightful alternate history series. ( )

Don't mess with St. Mary's. Just don't. ( )

A really enjoyable and enlightening light shone on the character, somewhat underdeveloped in the series, of "Leon Farrell" as we know him.

I am sure that means nothing to newbs. Please believe me that you're not going to learn anything you need to know by reading this book out of order. All that will happen is you'll spoil some lovely moments in the earlier books. But for the series regular, this entry will expand the emotional landscape against which Max and Leon have formed, re-formed, and reformed their partnership.

My quibble is with the oblique angle the story takes on its events. We're always watching someone watching the action. It takes place in offices and on the internet and we see, as in with the immediacy of a story, the results of the actions. Yes, the stakes are clearly delineated from the beginning. They're discussed in detail. But the action? Off stage, so to speak. It's not a reason to skip the tale, not at all, but it does distance me from the full emotional impact of the actions St Mary's takes on behalf of Max and Matthew.

In the end I hope those who're addicted to the series will get here, read this tale, and feel themselves warmed an charmed by the depth of the bond the Dramatis Thingummy share. ( )
