I loved being back with these characters, and seeing what they were up to in the short span of time since the last installment. P.J. Skinner has definitely developed my favourite cast of characters in a long time and could read about them forever. Hopefully there are more books in this series. The environment is definitely our world and he has not made any changes to it and if you have stayed in one of these seaside towns then you know how realistic he has made them. I can not wait for more from this author in the future.
