I'm glad to see Asprin back to writing on a regular schedule.

These two authors 'invoke' a good story with personable chemistry between the protagonists. So why only two stars?

The beginning, so important to hooking a reader, is a jumble of mixed messages, and doesn't do justice to the plot or characters assembled.

Never confuse a reader as to whether you are going to "romp" or deliver careful characters. When the material starts out slyly poking fun with odd government agencies like "O.O.P.S.I.E.", you expect you are going to read "screwball comedy", which is a place the authors have creative gifts.

But this is actually a murder and black magic story -- a pretty good one.

f you can roll past the first thirty pages of mixed signals, you might find a nice story here.
