This book looks really well written and professionally edited. I do appreciate a good book when I see it but unfortunately, it's not a genre I use to read. Still, I need to congratulate the author and you for your detailed review.

The setting, pace, and plot all sound cool. I mean, pre-war espionage? Artifacts? Just sounds like good and exciting fun! Thanks for review.

A adventure book set in 1935, revolving around the retrieval of a stolen mask, pre-second world war espionage, and a Nazi plot sounds intriguing, especially as it is written from the point of view of a civilian. It seems rather a short read for such a complex plot. Thank you for the review!

I can feel how reading this book would be like watching an old period movie with a mystery in the style of Sherlock Holmes, though in this book, the investigation may fall in the hands of a civilian.

The idea of a witless protagonist and the amusing characters make up the attractions for me. Thanks for the awesome review!

The Mask of Perpetuity by Martin Jones sounds great. Does George Melville succeed after being called upon to help a British Secret Services agent return the treasured Chinese artifact, the mask of perpetuity? Eager to find out. Great review!

I am not really a fan of normal adventure but based on the review, I'm willing to give it a try. Besides, it's a short read.
