I absolutely love this book; it's well written, clever, and funny. I hope Keith Finney writes many more stories about Rex and HG. ? ? ? ? ? Can't wait for the next one!? ? ? ? ? ...a page-turner from start to finish. ? ? ? ? ? Once again, Keith has written a very entertaining tale centered around the aristocracy, but this time set in 1922. ? ? ? ? ? Wow, Keith... words fail me.
