Full disclosure: I adore JL Merrow, she does tongue in cheek humor awesomely well and have enjoyed everything she has written.  Relief Valve is no exception.  Tom is great-charming old ladies, odd duck priests and estranged family members.  His ability to accept people as they are goes a long way in helping the reader understand his relationship with Phil.  Also Tom's willingness to take responsiblility for his actions, and his ability to forgive make him exceptionally appealing to me.  I'm not so keen on Phil, he's very difficult to get to know, I haven't decided if I like him or not.  The two things he has going for him is that Tom (and Merlin) like(s) him so much and he dresses himself really well.  I'm hoping JL has another book or two in store for Tom so that I can get to know Phil a bit more.  Also Tom's gift at finding hidden things is very intriguing-I want to see him off on more discovery missions.
