I just love Michael Kenyon books because they are not only witty but also surprise. This one is definetely one of his best. English humor interspersed with suspense and surprise.

This is an enjoyable book with an engaging main character. Professor Foley is rumpled and fuzzy, with a tendency to run to fat, but he knows his mind and he won't let people walk all over him. The little mathematics professor's life is turned upside down when he inherits a castle in Ireland, and he has to deal with thugs, spies, and a pretty Irish lass, with some help from his best friend Oscar, a vigorously funny chemistry professor, before he can get his life right side up again. All in all, a good read.
