This book was incredible. I didn't find the format jarring like in the first book since I knew what to expect. I flew through it in two sittings. There isn't much I can say about the plot because of spoiling the first book of the Themis Files but lets just say everything gets ramped up to a million in this book.
  
Bebris really starts to hit her stride with this instalment. The first books were entertaining enough, but rereading, I see that The Intrigue at Highbury and the following book, The Deception at Lyme, really are of a higher standard, better plotted and more involving than the earlier books. I hope that when The Suspicions at Sandition is available in paperback that the standard will have been maintained.

Good one
With actors like Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds you know this movie is good. Not high budget but filled with action and intrigue. If you like "spy" movies you'll enjoy this one. Good cinematography and a story that unfolds quite well. Some parts were a little predictable, but it still keeps the interest. It's an older movie but very endearing. Worth a watch.
