A Defense Secretary shooting. The collapse of the Home Office Secretary. London’s high-ranking civil servants are being targeted, and DCI Jack Austin is drawn out of retirement.
When his wife is kidnapped, inept savant DCI Austin leads the rescue mission while trying to solve the recent mystery, and discover the motives of the master conspirator.
Racing towards the chaotic conclusion, can he find solace in a welcome retirement, and uncover the supreme Machiavellian plot?
My thoughts
My thanks to Emma of Damppebbles Blog Tours for the opportunity to take part in the blog tour of this book.
I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.
Merde and Mandarins is the last book in the Kind Hearts and Martinets series. I haven't read any of the other 4 books, but this in no way spoilt my enjoyment of this story.
In this final book in the series (for now) the comically named Banana Boys are up to their usual antics. Keef, Brains and Jeremy are as usual on the wrong side of the law. This hapless gang are on a mission to carry out work for a more serious mastermind criminal than themselves, lets face it that's not hard either as they all seem to be slightly scatter brained.
As a plot is hatched and the retired DCI Jack Austin's wife is kidnapped, it's not long before he's drawn out of retirement to help rescue his wife and try to help with solving the recent mystery into which he in some ways becomes embroiled.
Told with lots of humour and scenes that would grace any TV screen, this was a roller coaster of a ride that I was happy to partake in.
