I enjoyed this book, partly because of the colloquial terminology, which I can understand might have irked some American readers.  Good descriptive paragraphs.  Particularly pleasing to me was the correct use of the word 'whence' without a preceding 'from'.For me, the plot rather took a back seat, I enjoyed the writing so much.Despite having no interest whatsoever in sport, I avidly read every word describing the cricket match, laughing out loud during the process.I have now bought the second book of the series and look forward to enjoying it as much as the first one.
