DESCRIPTION:
It's New Year's Eve in London and that only means one thing. Fireworks, and lots of them.
As the citizens of England's capital gather on the banks of the Thames, there is an enemy lurking amongst them. It's an enemy who has struck before and now they are ready to strike again.
Happy New Year? Or the start of something bad?
MY THOUGHTS:
It's New Year's Eve and six weeks after the chaotic events of "20 Minutes Behind Bars" in which several prisoners escaped, including gangster Ronnie Larkhall, notorious serial killer Valentin, terrorist Jamal and our hero of the series, Bogdan. Not everyone came out of the prison riots unscathed with Diego just one of the many fatalaties that day.
But today is New Year's Eve and revellers are gathered on the banks of the Thames near Tower Bridge to watch a aeronautic flyover before the fireworks at midnight. But while many have gathered in the city for celebrations, there are some who have evil intentions with fireworks not the only thing lighting up London's skyline tonight.
But however exciting this installment began, it ended with something of an eye-rolling flop. What just happened in those final two chapters? The stand off with Bogdan was just stupid but the final chapter was even stupider. Knocking a star off for the eye rolling stupidity of those last two chapters. As much as I have enjoyed this series, this is the most disappointing. I hope it improves with the final three and finishes with a bang.
A nod to Harry getting himself into even more mischief. Is there no trouble that Harry cannot seem to help himself into? At this rate, he is going to be grounded until he is 35!
