Review: Well Written, Fast Moving, Dry Humor

Often, I find British mysteries and thrillers too dry and prissy.  I took a chance on this story, based on the positive reviews, and it worked out very well.  The hero is likable, down-to-earth and modest, not some unbelievable Jason Bourne kind of superman who does everything perfectly.  He showed true bravery by doing what had to be done, even when he was scared or in danger.  Even the villains are more believable, not the unrelentingly evil fiends that are standard fare in many mysteries and thrillers.
