Either I'm getting used to the weirdness of this Aberystwyth Noir series or every next book is really better than the previous one, I'm still not sure, but I truly enjoyed this one. Malcolm Pryce's stories are still strange but after the first two books it's easier to get in. The plot is a bit tangled but it is being developed nicely, and we have no loose ends in the final part. It's just clear that there will be another book following this one because the evil genius Brainbocs is still there.
The things that made me happy were some particular episodes, really beautifully written (well, in my opinion). The more books I read the more I like the the main character here.
And yes, Aberystwyth is still a good place to escape this cruel reality.
