Summoned to England by his ex-girlfriend, Bill Reyner and his associate, North, try to kill two birds with one stone - a short holiday and a very quick investigation. A simple missing person case couldn't possibly turn out nasty - or could it? Whilst retracing the steps of a missing woman, Bill accidentally uncovers an incredibly diabolical organisation that has existed for years. It soon becomes evident that while he is searching for the long dead and dear departed; someone behind the scene is manipulating his every move. What could wax figures, picturesque castles and alluring Scottish damsels possibly have to do with missing people? Bill has found another dangerous and multi-million-dollar puzzle of murder and mayhem that extends way back into the dark and dismal past.

Full-Fledged Thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat!,
This review is from: Edinburgh Cuckoos (Paperback)
In the third installment of the Bill Reyner Mystery Adventures, Edinburgh Cuckoos, Wentworth M. Johnson fills the pages with intense action-packed sequences, taking the reader from Dojon Towers to Cromlet Castle, from England to Scotland--all for a missing person, or so we think.
Having paid dearly for his prior detective work, Bill Reyner is determined not to take anymore cases. Bill has something else on his mind: a trip to England to visit his ex-girlfriend Priscilla. However, his Grandmother, fondly called Gran, doesn't leave him with a choice, stating, "Nothing dangerous, no guns, no fisticuffs, just a pleasant drive and a few harmless questions." Bill and his sometimes clumsy partner in crime, North, often break the law to find out who is breaking the law, are forced by Gran to break into Cloe McAllister's home--if that's her real name--to see what she's up to. There, they not only find eighty liters of wax and lose Bill's quarter of a million-dollar Rolls Royce, but they also realize that the woman they encounter in the Dojon Towers is not the real Cloe McAllister--laying the ground works for a mystery adventure unlike any other. On the way to Cromlet Castle, a series of ill-fated events fall upon the dynamic duo: Bill visits his former flame only to discover that she is engaged; Bill and North have their passports taken away prior to entry into Cromlet Castle. There is no part of the book that epitomizes Wentworth's spectacular writing style than the descriptions of the sprawling Cromlet Castle, particularly the gallery of life-like wax figurines, and a "family custom for well over 100 years to make wax replicas of our ancestors." What transpires next is a series of narrow escapes, and a haunting, multimillion-dollar discovery laden with extreme danger, and an age-old diabolical organization that swindles money from the rich. Starting out as a harmless, missing-person investigation, Bill Reyner's journey has morphed into an exciting, full-fledged thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Glued to my chair,

This review is from: Edinburgh Cuckoos (Paperback)
The inspiring 3rd adventure of Bill Reyner by Wentworth Johnson kept me glued to my chair until the mystery was solved, and as always with his books lots of good turns and twists to keep you guessing. The adventure takes Bill from Ontario to Scotland where things really start to get weird, but alas I tell too much! Bill Reyner is becoming one of my all time favorite crime solving whizzes, a fun loving playboy, who is so very likeable, and as comfortable helping Grandma as he is in roughing it up with evil organizations.

The Third in the Series,
By Beth Roberts (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Edinburgh Cuckoos (Paperback)
This is the third book in the Bill Reyner Mystery Adventure series and Wentworth M Johnson has yet again enthralled me. Murder, mystery, good v bad guys and plenty of sex appeal (but with no sleaze or foul language)...who could ask for anything more? These books are well-written and suitable for young adult readers through to adults who enjoy the thrill of a good mystery to solve.
