About this ebook
'Frantically wacky and wilfully confusing ... gratifyingly clever and very amusing' - Mail on Sunday
'Frothy, fast and funny' - Scotland on Sunday
J.W. Wells seemed to be a respectable establishment, but the company now 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 lovestruck hero is about to discover that custard is definitely in the eye of the beholder. And that it really stings.
Tom Holt's exceedingly comic fantasies are populated with evil goblins, annoying sprites and people like us. However, it's not always possible to tell the difference.
The third book to follow the hilarious adventures of Paul Carpenter - Tom Holt at his inventive best.

I wished I had checked out others first as this is obviously a follow on from another book. Very good all the same.

About the author
Tom Holt's first book was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror, he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford, however, he discovered bar billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.
