Product Description

Product Description
Five years after giving up his life of crime in the sewers Montmorency is back in London. But his evil alter ego, Scarper, is back too, pulling him into a dark world of addiction. His old friend and fellow government agent, Lord George Fox-Selwyn, fights to rescue him from disaster, and risks calling in Montmorency's prison doctor, Robert Farcett, to help. However, what should be a rest on a Scottish island throws up another mystery, with the discovery of a row of tiny graves...As Montmorency struggles to regain his health, he is called back to London, where unexplained bomb blasts have reduced the government to despair. Can he and Fox-Selwyn catch the bombers? How far can they bend the rules and still stay on the side of good? Can Doctor Farcett find out why the babies have died? And will Montmorency be able to return to life at the Marimion hotel without falling back into his old ways?

5.0 out of 5 stars 100 times better than the first, 13 April 2006
By Hegarty (France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Montmorency on the Rocks (Paperback)
Wow! I read this after I'd read the first Montmorency tale (which is considerably thinner) and I couldn't believe they were written by the same person. Whilst it would be harder to find a book with a better storyline than Montmorency I felt no sympathy for any one of the characters. Also it moved along far too quickly. Then, I bought Montmorency On The Rocks and was blown away. I rank this the 3rd best teenage novel I have read (after Stravaganza:City Of Flowers by Mary Hoffman and Small Steps by Louis Sachar respectively). Updale deals withs the consequences felt by Montmorency because of his drug addiction brilliantly and Fox-Selwyn's desire to help his friend equally well. The feelings experienced on Tarimond by Montmorency is a highlight as is the superb chapter on the train when Fox-Selwyn realises that if he can't resist eating his toffee in the middle of the night then how can Montmorency cope with his addiction. I also liked the way Chivers' unquestionable loyalty to Fox-Selwyn, Farcett and Montmorency was portrayed. But, for me the best part is Doctor Robert Farcett and the insight into his feelings from his despair after the death of his patient to the surprise at refinding Montmorency to the refusal of believing Maggie Goudie is a murderer. Read this.
