Review: Another hit for H. P. Mallory
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 6, 2013
Just finished "Better Off Dead" and H.P. Mallory has done it again.  This book is such a fun read.  The characters just come to life right off the pages.  This book is full of mystery, adventure and for a touch of extra flavor, comedy.  Some people might have some trouble following Tallis' Scottish brogue but don't let that stop you, sound it out loud and I am sure you will figure out what he is saying.  I, for one, just love a brogue so I totally enjoyed the parts where Tallis was talking.  Also, it really makes the point of who he is and having him speak in plain English would have taken away from the character.  I cannot wait until the next book is out and love that it was not cliff hanger, so if you only want to read this one, you can.  But I think by the time you are finished, you will be waiting for book 2.
