Into the Thinnest Air

by Simon R Green

When invited to an exclusive dinner in the country, many of us would expect to enjoy a quiet, relaxing weekend while enjoying a delicious meal.  When Penny receives such an invitation to Tyrone’s Castle she is aware that by inviting Ishmael along, the weekend will probably end up being the opposite.  The other guests are anything but warm and delightful company, but the dinner is good.  Soon members begin to disappear from rooms without exits and it is up to Ishmael to figure out what is happening and how to save the remaining guests.

Green’s alien protagonist finds himself smack in the middle of a real locked room mystery and feels true human frustration.  Many who are familiar with Green’s Paranormal Country House Mysteries will begin to see a pattern in his novels.  Even with the ability to figure out what is going on before the full disclosure, all true fans will enjoy this installment. 

I wish to thank NetGalley and the publisher for generously providing an Advanced Readers Copy for my honest review.
