The Prime Minister's Secret Agent

Their really wasn't much here to sink your teeth into. The mystery with the ballerinas was to short and didn't really explain why it truly need it to involve National Secrets. That macguffin was very clumsily used in this story just to give a brief action sequence. While a number of other historical back stories were the true meat of this book. In the end this didn't feel like a complete book. Everything in it was positioning for the next book. While that can be ok, it could of been done in a short story and not feel like the author was just filling a contractual obligation.
