Summary

Starting a new job is always stressful (especially when you don’t particularly want one), but when Paul Carpenter arrives at the office of J. W. Wells he has no idea what trouble lies in store. Because he is about to discover that the apparently respectable establishment now paying his salary is in fact a front for a deeply sinister organisation that has a mighty peculiar agenda. It seems that half the time his bosses are away with the fairies. But they’re not, of course.

They’re away…

Critics Review

The jokes are delicious

hugely inventive and highly amusing …His sharply observed dialogue and the desire to think round corners and u-bends distinguish Holt’s books. He has the ability to make the reader laugh out loud and should be treasured. - COMPUTERCROWSNEST

A definite must for all fans of comic fantasy - ENIGMA

The jokes are delicious - SFX

The best similes since Douglas Adams. Buy it for heaven’s sake - SFX
