This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Bad Suki (Paperback)

Anything Peter O'Donnell has done about Modesty Blaise -- cartoons or novels -- is a great read! He makes quite a wonderful character out of her and her friend Willie Garvin.

AND, when Peter writes under a pen-name -- Madeleine Brent (to match "Modesty Blaise", of course) -- he also creates great books!

This review is from: Modesty Blaise: Bad Suki (Paperback)

Another collection of 3 excellent Modesty Blaise tales. Bad Suki may be slightly dated as it revolves around the "hippie" era of the late 1960s, but the target of drug use continues today. Overlook the one thing and settle back for 3 exciting Blaise stories that never fail to satisfy!
