skulduggery pleasant - resurrection

Another excellent one. Still great story line, interesting development of characters, and my favorite, brilliant witty dialogues.
And less gory than others ie the faceless ones volume, for example. Beuh..
And that suits fine!

I especially appreciated the introduction of the US President, who strangely enough, reminds me strangely of another one. Hint, his last name starts with a T😁

Check on chapter 52 especially.
""Tell me what you think," said Flanery, "as an expert. You are an expert aren't you? I mean that's why we hired you. That's what everyone told me you were. This last week. The mainstream media say it's been my worst week since I took office. What do you think?". (...)

"Are you a yes man-man , Conlon?" Flanery interrupted.
"Sir?"
"A yes-man. Like Wilkes here. Isn't that right, Wilkes? You'd say yes to anything I suggested, wouldn't you? You wouldn't dare contradict me or tell me I wrong, would you?". (...)

"shut up. You know what? I can't stand the sight of you. You're fired." (...)

Flanery watched wilkes. "we're going to need a new whatever-the -hell-he-was." (..)"

Excellent. nothing similar obviously to anybody currently in service at the moment!
