Below are some of the comments I’ve received so far about The Undertaking:
WHAT REVIEWERS HAVE SAID:
‘Just when they think they have things under control and have figured out how to deal with it, something else happens, with the pace of these wild twists coming faster and faster as the story progresses. If you’re a fan of comedy crime novels, this one is worth a read.’ – Big Al (Extract originally written for “Books and Pals” book blog.)
WHAT READERS HAVE SAID:
‘Long awaited sequel, and well worth the wait! Always a fan of Rob’s work, I was eagerly awaiting this latest book. It twists and turns and ducks and dives with all his customary flair…and it’s very funny! If you enjoyed “Cremains” then you will love this… The capers are inventive, unexpected and the wider cast of characters beautifully portrayed. Read it and enjoy it, and if you haven’t read the rest of Rob’s books then you will want to do so after reading this!’ – corsario
‘Entertaining farce. A combination of Russian agents, Russian double agents, MI5, MI6, and undertakers does not instantly make you think of comedy. But Mr Johnson manages to weld these group together into a very entertaining read.’ – C I Keszei
‘Only Rob Johnson has the skill to make this fantastic plot both believable and credible! This has to be among Johnson’s best. So many baddies, so many goodies but which are which? In this fast moving tale, (literally), with realistically drawn characters one can only take one’s hat off to the vast amount of research that the author has done to create this polished jigsaw… Will have you laughing until you cry.’ – Suzi Stembridge
‘Really fast moving hilarious plot keeps you guessing. Loved all the characters, storyline, twists and turns keep you both amused and engaged throughout the whole book.’ – Kindle Customer
‘An enjoyable read! An utterly mad tale that could have come from the pen of a “Monty Python” script writer. It was absolutely hilarious. One of the most amusing stories I’ve read in a long time. This hilarious story was a mad caper that had me in stitches. Highly recommended!’ – Kindle Customer
‘Great story. Fast paced. Quick read , funny and likable characters. I will definitely read more from this author. Opened the story and found I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.’ – Gail V.
‘A must read thriller. A real page turner. Hilarious. Thank you Rob.’ –
Sridhar Prayaga
‘Page turner! Started reading the first book Cremains, wondered what the hell I was reading, then got into the humour but also I could put a face to every character in the 2 books to the variety of people that I have met over the years… Read through all of the books in very short time! Loved them.’ – Amazon Customer
‘Really funny crime drama Another rollicking, fast paced crime farce from Rob Johnson. Well up to the standard of his previous works with a convoluted plot and a believable cast of hapless characters enmeshed in much more serious goings-on.’ – Anthony Sawdrie
‘Good spy story with effective humor. I liked the main characters. They were likeable and more or less believable. The action was well paced. I would enjoy reading other books by this author.’ – moldova 1946
‘Excellent sequel with just the right balance of dark humour and thrills. Outrageous characters and fast moving story also stays just the right side of Carry On Spying.’ – UK Kindle Customer
‘I just couldn’t make myself put this story away. It grips you from start to finish and in many parts comical… I can’t wait to read another of the author’s books. A fantastic writer that gives you his everything he has in his novel.’ – Heather
‘Great fun. A well thought out novel with lots of comic twists and turns and great characters, well worth a read. Recommended.’ – Top Dog
‘Silly fun. Love it. As with all great writing of this kind, you can recognise the characters from your own town. Looking forward to more in the future.’ – linnie
‘Great read.’ – Mr Stewart R Jones
‘Great story. Great characters.’ – Les (on Goodreads)
‘This was an enjoyable way and to spend the afternoon. A fast moving story about a simple job that turned out to be much more than expected. What a mad cap bunch.’ – BonusMom (on Goodreads)
‘I really enjoyed the writing style and the development of the great characters in a hilarious plot. I laughed so many times.’ – Steve Byrne
‘Very entertaining. This caper really appealed to me. Even the ridiculous scenarios didn’t seem that far fetched. Very well written and I really enjoyed reading it.’ – Bradic
‘Enjoyed the follow up to Cremains. Plenty of twists and turns. Looking forward to reading the third in the series. Hopefully it’ll be just as good.’ – Luci Evans
