This novel is unlike other adventure novels in the sense that it is intelligently written. The vocabulary is neither dumbed down nor apolegetic. As a result, I found myself enjoying the writing just as much as the story and finished this in a few days. Why aren't more novels being written on this level?
What a wicked, wicked lady Barbara Skelton was. I expected her misdeeds to be scandalous in the sense that she has an affair. Instead, the author treated me to the story of a deplorable character that I just loved to hate. Right away you can't help but dislike this woman, and it only gets worse; she gets into all sorts of nastiness. I liked how the story focused on her, rather than including superfluous things about other characters. This contained some tight prose and I appreciated that.
