The lost man in the dream demon world

When a well dressed man arrives in Mydworth with a nasty head wound and no memory of who he is or why he is there Kat and Harry look after him But it quickly becomes clear that this Lost Man is for some unknown reason on the run and his pursuers are desperate to find him As Kat and Harry retrace the man s strange journey back to London s East End they find themselves up against dangerous people who with time running out will do absolutely anything to stop the Lost Man from remembering Co authors Neil Richards based in the UK and Matthew Costello based in the US have been writing together since the mid 90s creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC Disney Channel Sony ABC Eidos and Nintendo to name but a few Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts computer games radio shows and the best selling mystery series Cherringham Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries The Lost Man Mydworth Mysteries 16 A bit too short Unconventionally this 16th book is my first read of the series Mydworth Mysteries Published to be short reads I found The Lost Man to be intriguing enough at the start to plunge into the series hoping I need not have read the first 15 books And it wasn t difficult to pick up the characters howeverI did find it difficult to care very much for Lord and Lady Middleton as sleuths Everything just seemed to come so easily for them from the tracking down of information to the calming of the victim they d named George to the improvisational way they solved the mystery I think I would have liked conflict I guess But the pair are an old married couple who move as slickly as the characters Mr and Mrs Smith of the film and TV series Also one of the most distracting things for me was being able to read each character s internal thoughts in italics Everything I ve ever learned in good writing of books and stories is the old mantra show don t tell something I guess doesn t come naturally to television writers Anyway I found it difficult to follow all the head hopping as well as the spoken dialogue So 2 stars for me Kindle Edition Very good as usual What a great twist to have a person with amnesia as a victim Kindle Edition
