Wow, what can I say?Having read the first book in the Keszthelyi Chronicles, I expected nothing but wild and hilarious adventures that would attack the protagonists and the readers from all unexpected directions, with all sorts of strange challenges. And yes, I got all of this and more!This time instead of the sleepy rural Brittany, both Keszthelyi and Estrado are busy trying to make "a killing" in bubbling, exotic, unpredictable Kabul, following a hunch that Estrado sniffed out and Keszthelyi assessed. The mission that looked reasonably possible. In the beginning, that is. Until it got complicated. Then it was all up in the air, with Afghan sweet female drag dealers, French Air Forces, Russian mafia connections, Chinese mahjong addicts, occasionally firing guns and frequented visits in the hospital for all sort of unconnected reasons. Which kept me laughing hysterically, then biting my fingernails, then laughing again, alternatively.I hope the book 3 will come out soon, in the meanwhile I'll be giving occasional rereads to this one.
