And the violence is pretty clean as well.
And I’ve seen a lot of UK sitcoms from the seventies. There’s no swearing – the story even makes a point by making Moon swear in a very odd way – “crap on a cracker” is possibly the oddest catchphrase I have ever seen. Thriller, because structurally, the books that it most closely resembles is the Jack Reacher books that I’ve read (which isn’t many to be fair), with clear villains and a plot that gets a bit over the top by the end of the book. The best description that I can give it is “Cosy Thriller”. First off, it’s definitely not a mystery. I have absolutely no idea who wrote what here, and as I’ve never read work from either of them before, I can’t make a guess as to whose writing style this most closely resembles. Phoef Sutton has worked mostly in television, but has authored and co-authored books before, notably Wicked Charms with Evanovich. Janet Evanovich is best known for her bounty hunter Stephanie Plum series and is, apparently, the “Queen Of Kick Ass Crime” – it says so on the cover. Knight soon has Moon tagging along on his investigation, and it is rapidly clear that some people don’t want them looking into the missing gold… Riley Moon, a Harvard graduate has just got her dream job at the Blane-Grunwald bank, although she is more than a little taken aback by her first assignment – babysitting their very important client, Emerson Knight… He has a nasty feeling that some of it is missing… Emerson Knight is a reclusive, extraordinarily rich and clearly eccentric individual who has a concern about some of his gold.
