Mixed Pickles - the Book log 2012

Ah, the 1920s, and a return to the desert to revisit some of the second-stringer characters from "Beau Geste"...



Nothing is going to match up to that first, beautifully constructed novel, of course, but Wren is nothing if not a great yarn-spinner and he crosses backwards and forwards through time before pulling all the threads together in the story of how some old friends and enemies are reunited years after the events at Fort Zinderneuf.
