The Lost Cause
3 stars

Warm and cozy.

The Mad Codger finished reading The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Dinniman
Matt does not fail to disappoint on this, his sixth book. Full of the same irreverent humor as the previous books, he continues to keep the story engaging until the end. I'm already excited to see where the next book goes and whether this might be the end.
