Synopsis "Bones in London (in English)"
Review: The hero, "Bones," reminded me in a way of Bertie Wooster (PG Wodehouse). No matter what venture Bones entered, he had a knack of getting out of trouble and actually "winning." His manner of speaking (and his manner of "spelling") amused me. This was a fun read ...
