In the year 2050, twenty-something IT worker, Charlie Gibbs, has a problem – several problems, in fact. His boss has just been killed in mysterious circumstances. Replacement boss, fifty-year-old Dutch cougar, Ilse Teuling, is writing an inspirational sex guide for the mature woman and wants Charlie to help with “the practical work”. Populists have declared a coup; people are seeing visions; the clock is counting down to environmental disaster, and a murderer is on the loose, providing Charlie with the biggest problem of the lot – he’s the intended next victim and he doesn’t know why.. ". . .the plot is juicy and the tension is palpable." Jennifer Jackson Indies Today 5-star review.. Can Charlie simultaneously solve crime, survive political chaos, rescue the environment, expose a hoaxer and foil a murderer, not forgetting to service the needs of Ilse? Can he keep all his balls juggling and still come out alive?. It’s a fun read, which rattles along at great speed with an enormous cast of characters, most of whom are not what we think they are… it will take a long time to forget Charlie and Ilse and their interesting antics … Very enjoyable. Lucinda E Clarke for Readers' Favorite . "The story flowed well, with humour and comic characters throughout to give a light-hearted feel despite a murder mystery … an entertaining, satirical story, with mystery, intrigue and plenty of steam." LoveReading Indie Books We Love. "The writing is light yet informative, sometimes even humorous, making the book easy to read.
