A huge thank you to Cranthorpe Miller for having me on this tour!
I dived into Gambit after reading the blurb, and I have really enjoyed getting to know Jason and Sally as they embark on their adventures, trying to uncover the truth behind the restoration project. One of the things I loved most about this book was the strong bond between the characters—especially how much Jason and Sally care for their friend Simon, who is currently laid up in a hospital bed. Their loyalty and concern for him added depth to the story and made their mission feel even more personal.
I also felt a constant tension between Sally and Jason, which made me wonder whether it stemmed from their own dynamic or the stress of Simon’s predicament. This underlying tension kept me engaged, making me question their relationship and how it might evolve throughout the book.
The writing style was immersive and well-crafted, drawing me in from the start. I found the pacing to be steady—not too fast, but never dragging—allowing the plot to progress smoothly while keeping me eager to turn the pages. The mystery surrounding the restoration project unfolded in a way that kept me intrigued, and I appreciated how the story balanced action, character development, and suspense.
Overall, Gambit was an enjoyable and engaging read, with compelling characters and a well-paced narrative. If you love a good adventure filled with mystery, friendship, and intrigue, this is definitely worth picking up!
