Title: Review
Product review: It can't be said that this is a particularly good Innes. Although light-hearted and amusing enough, it is very badly plotted. The fte setting is well-drawn enough, but the rest of the plot just sags. Plot? There is nothing that can be described as a plot. (...)Nothing is done with the sheiks, apart from the problem (...)When murder does occur, this by archery(...)it is explained in one paragraph, the book then turning into an attempt to smuggle the Emir out of a house surrounded by an unfriendly crowd. Attempts to involve (...) by centring the book's feeble plot around a financial crisis involving Middle Eastern Oil (...) do not improve the book at all. In short, bad and shallow. Like all late Innes, to be avoided by the connoisseur.
