The 5th ‘Secret Histories’ novel opens with Eddie Drood dead. But he swiftly gets over that as he and his family have to deal with a satanic conspiracy. Things look grim, get grim and then there is a grim cliffhanger. This was good. I look forward to more ‘Secret Histories’ novels.

“They don’t tell people like me things like that. If only so people like you can’t beat it out of me.”
