A Measured Response

My review -
Benor
the cartographer is offered a job away from home with unusually generous pay.
It all has to be done on the quiet, too. Something’s up. Benor has a murder to
solve. I thought he had, but there’s more to come. This story is a murder
mystery and a comedy of manners, set in a world of fantasy. If you like a genre
mashup, this is brilliant. The characters and their relationships and banter
would make it worth reading even if it didn’t have a plot – but it does.
Another winner for me.
And now to the second -

My review -
Someone
has tried to cheat Benor and his young ‘apprentice’ Mutt. They set out, with a
little help, to redress the balance. Another in this series of Port Naain
novellas that had me smiling. They are not belly-laugh stories but full of wry,
clever and thoughtful humour. Often, it’s the way he tells them. I’m always up
for more of these stories.
