Wot I have read…


Earth, Air, Fire and Custard by Tom Holt

This is more of the same from Tom Holt based as it in his familiar and much explored world of modern magic at the shadowy company of J W Wells. I found this similar in nature to the other stories where ‘odd’ and ‘amusing’ incidents befall our hapless hero until the overly complex plot is revealed and the complex web of loose ends are all tied up.


‘J.W. Wells seems to be a respectable establishment, but the company paying Paul Carpenter’s salary is in fact a deeply sinister organisation with a mighty peculiar management team.

Paul thought he was getting the hang of it (particularly when he fell head over heels for his strangely alluring colleague Sophie), but death is never far away when you work at J. W. Wells. Unlike the stapler – that’s always going AWOL. Our love struck hero is about to discover that custard is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And that it really stings.’
