Review
This one is a sequel and obviously not much makes sense if you haven’t read #100. Apparently, Graham’s papers have something in code words and that’s why whoever is owing this swap-the-bodies-with-important-people-in-government mission, have sent William. William is ruthless and kills for pleasure, and even his subords turn against him. To this cruel murderer, Faridi has something perfect planned: a taste of their own medicine.
Yep, a body swap.
What Faridi does to William’s body is simply astounding, a lesson for a cruel murderer. Just wow. The ending of Tisdle and Rebecca was just meh.
Spoiler alert begins
Rebecca commits suicide, Tisdle watches him and loses his mind.
Spoiler alert end
That’s right. The person who’s responsible for this body-and-mind swap procedure, just loses his mind over a woman. Meh for me.
Oh, before I forget, apart from the body swap for William (which is the best thing about this story), there was another thing that impressed me and made me a Faridi fan all over again. He cured Tisdle. Whatever his “bimari” was, I won’t delve into that, but our detective is also a scientist. Take that, William SOB.
That concludes the review. What do others feels about this one?
