Easy to read Why would you want to read it?

You will never forget this book. You might not be able to lend it out!

Nice story and I got it cheap. found out a bit about play therapy. To much waffle, written by an writter not a parent and I found it boring at times

Very likeable yet complex characters None I can think of!

A good story with many funny moments The end came about a bit abruptly, couple of editing errors

Can be read as a one off thriller or as part of the Charlie Parker franchise Some of the elements maybe lost on those not familiar with Charlie Parker novels
